Tips: Gale eBooks

• Take advantage of their Medicine Collection: the ebooks in this database are organized into "collections" based on subject matter (e.g. Arts, Business, History, Literature, etc.). To narrow down your results to nursing-related ebooks, click on Medicine, located on the far-left hand side of the Gale eBooks homepage, under "Browse Collections."

• Use "Search within" boxes: Gale eBooks will allow you to search for specific words or phrases inside the entire Medicine Collection, or within individual books themselves. Look for search boxes that say "Search within Collection" or "Search within Publication" (see screenshots, below) and use them to quickly narrow down your results to relevant books or chapters/pages.
