Library Resources for Nursing Programs: Peer-Reviewed Journals in Print

This guide will help students in the Nursing Program that need help finding resources for research and studying from the BC Library.

Nursing Journals in Print at BC

The BC Library also subscribes to 7 nursing journals in print.  Three of these journals we continue to receive today, while the other 4 journals we have just part of their run.  Some may be stored on microfilm or microfiche to save shelf space.  

  • You can find journals in print in the Periodicals collection of the library, on the blue-labeled shelves, shelved alphabetically by journal title.  The library sometimes keeps print copies for the 5 most recent years only.  The current year is found on the pink-labeled shelves, shelved alphabetically by journal title, with the most recent on display and lifting the shelf to find the rest from the current year.
  • You can find journals on microfiche in the file cabinets closest to the windows.  We have two microfiche readers, and the reference librarians will be happy to teach you how to use them.  
  • You can find journals on microfilm in the file cabinets furthest away from the windows.  We have two microfilm readers, and the reference librarians will be happy to teach you how to use them.
