LRC Craft Section Makes a Big Impact on Stress!
From dream catchers to coloring pages and etched bookmarks, students have been being crafty in the LRC! According to Thrive Global, "Studies have shown that crafting can greatly support those who struggle with anxiety, depression, pain, or diminishing cognitive function. It helps relieve stress, boost self-esteem, improve focus and aid in mindfulness, while results in something tangible to feel proud about." So, come on in to the LRC, pick up a marker, a crayon, a coloring page or a word search and put your mind at ease! Check with us often - we have been offering a new theme each month. January is "National Stay Healthy Month" and we will be presenting activities to keep YOU crafty and in good health.
Welcome to our newest LRC collection celebrating
Diversity in Healthcare!
Located on the rotating bookshelf on the first floor, this collection of new books will help you achieve cultural diversity in your health care practices. From Disability as Diversity to Cultural Safety, Healthcare and Vulnerable Populations to Ethical Diversity in Healthcare Delivery, you can check out these titles to help you care for your patients in the spirit of equality, respect, and understanding.
For a listing of our titles, click on the Diversity tab on this LibGuide.
4/22: Looking for a way to store, manage and cite bibliographic references while you are writing your research papers? Welcome to Zotero a free reference manager, that offers you a user-friendly platform to collect and organize your documents. Fully searchable with tags that YOU create, your stored publications can be shared with an unlimited number of your fellow students or professors. Drag-and-drop articles into your library from your PC files AND, if you wish, automatically add documents as you are searching websites and research databases, like OVID or EBSCO.
Once documents are stored, create notes or annotations for each one, add attachments or web links, and, copyright permitting, share PDF’s with your project group. Want to sync your library on your PC and your cell phone? That can be done, too! To get started, take a look at the Quick Start Guide. You will learn Zotero - how to install it, how to use it, and how to make the most of its valuable features and plugins. In addition, you can watch instructional videos and tutorials and participate in user forums. Another helpful feature of Zotero is the citing tool called ZoteroBib. Quick and easy, this allows you to type in a URL, article title, Digital Object Identifier (DOI) or PubMed ID #, choose your citation style (APA, AMA), and find the correct citation for your bibliography.
