Finding Articles

Google Scholar
Google Scholar enables you to search specifically for scholarly literature, including peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports from all broad areas of research. Use Google Scholar to find articles from a wide variety of academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories and universities, as well as scholarly articles available across the web.
 
Google Scholar provides a very quick way of reviewing related articles as well as cited bys (i.e. other articles that cite the original publication)

CINAHL

With more than 600,000 full-text articles dating back to 1937, CINAHL Plus with Full Text is the definitive research tool for all areas of nursing and allied health literature. 

It is a good idea to search CINAHL so that you are focused on nursing and allied health information, have fewer results to review, and can use the citation information as it is more correct in APA than Google Scholar.

Topic Search Example

Topic:  influenza vaccination practices for at-risk populations, specifically homeless

Keywords:
