Nursing Reference Center: A Point-of-Care Resource from EBSCO

ABSTRACT

Nursing Reference Center (NRC) is a new database offering from EBSCO Industries, Inc. The intended audience is nurses at all levels of the profession: students, hospital nurses, nurse educators, administrators, and faculty. Content is derived from a number of resources ranging from legal cases to research instruments. It is a big product with lots of ways to approach the information. Most end users will probably not use all of the product's capabilities. Librarians who will support and/or teach NRC should plan to spend time making sure they understand how all the pieces fit together.
