ESSENTIAL Nursing Resources

THE 24TH EDITION of the ICIRN Essential Nursing Resources list (12 pages only free online) edited by Jacobs and Berolucci is presented as a resource for locating nursing information and for collection development. The list includes print, multimedia, and electronic sources to support nursing practice, education, administration, and research activities. The most recent editions or websites available are included. The list was compiled to point to pathways for exploration, rather than be an end point, and to expand to multiple formats beyond traditional references. New sections in this edition are: Alerting Services / Blogs/RSS feeds (formerly Current Awareness), Consumer Health/Patient Education, Informatics, Public Health/Disaster Preparedness, and Patient Safety. Citations marked $$ indicate availability via subscription or through a library.
