NEW EDITION OF ESSENTIAL NURSING RESOURCES

The 24th edition of the ICIRN Essential Nursing Resources list (formerly Essential Nursing References), edited by Susan Kaplan Jacobs and Ysabel Bertolucci “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.” Some of the resources require a paid subscription.
