Surgical Technology Program: Databases and Articles

Scholarly or peer-reviewed journals include articles that have been written by specialists in the field and reviewed by specialists before they are accepted for publication.

Popular magazines such as Time or newspapers such as The New York Times have valid information but are NOT peer-reviewed.

You can limit your search to a peer-reviewed article when you are using a Library database such as  Health and Medicine or CINAHL.

You can use the databases and holdings list  from home!  When prompted, enter your username (N #) and password (PIN).
