Health: Non Communicable Diseases Project

Hi all-
We have a few resources that will help you with this project.
1. BOOKS!
We have pulled a cart of books covering the topics you are researching. We update this every year so the information is up to date. You may find a book just on your disease or a larger book on diseases in general, in which case jump to theINDEX and see what pages have information about your topic.
Also, if you don’t see it on the cart, try a subject search on the Online Catalogto see if there are any additional books on the shelf related to your topic.
2. EBOOKS
EBooks are online versions of print resources. Your teacher will consider it a book source, even though you see it online.  These can be accessed from home.
Go to the Library’s Online Database page and click ebooks. You will get a search screen from the Gale Virtual Reference Library. Search for your disease. All your results will be from ebooks. Click on the PDF option, as it will contain all the graphics that are on the page of the book.
We have  a number of online databases that will provide useful info from books, magazines, newspapers and television and radio transcripts. Go to the library’s Online Database page and try the Health and Wellness Reference Centerelibrary, Health Reference Center Academic, and Opposing Viewpoints (not the viewpoints but the articles and statistics).
As always you will need to cite your sources. You can always ask Library staff for help with this.
Good luck and don’t be afraid to ask for assistance from myself or any of the library staff.
Mr. Davidson
