Abstract

It is essential for nursing students to access current and reliable information to succeed in academic assignments and nursing practice, yet there are increasingly diverse information sources available, which can raise questions about the authenticity and reliability of information provided. This book presents a practical and clear guide to mastering information skills. It shows the reader how to effectively plan and implement a search for information and make judgements on the quality of the sources found. It also gives strategies for storage and retrieval of information, helping nurses to maximise the time they have available for keeping up to date.
"This book is an excellent and valuable resource for all nursing students, especially first year students. I will definitely recommend this book to all students, campus librarians and colleagues. Congratulations and thank you for an illuminating read and resource." Lecturer, University of Chester
