Health and Wellness: Home

• Resources to research health and wellness topics in magazine articles and books, plus some really good Web sites you should know about.
• Nursing students should use our Nursing LibGuide when more professional resources are needed.

All of these databases provide articles from health magazines and journals. Use while off campus requires a login (myLSCO).

This tutorial  covers searching using the basic Ebsco search screen, which applies to all of these databases except the last one:

• Health Source: Consumer Edition Health and wellness magazines for the general public
• Alternative Health Watch Magazines and journals that cover alternative or complementary treatments and health practices (yoga, massage, acupuncture, chinese medicine, etc.)
• Academic Search Complete Magazines and scholarly journals. Use the full-text limit.
• MasterFILE Premier Has more magazines and less journals than Academic Search Complete. Use the full-text limit.
• Credo Reference Large collection of reference books, encyclopedias and dictionaries. Use advanced search and check the box that says "Search only within headings" to improve search results. 

Search by a health topic keyword in the catalog search box below. Use short phrases or search for two or more search terms connected by AND, OR, NOT. For example: tai chi and arthritis

Note the call number and location of books or videos. When finished use the browser back arrow to return to this guide.
