WRHA Virtual Library: Using the Library

Navigating our Site

The top menu provides links to many of our site's main features, including:

• Collection: a list of our databases, such as PubMed, Medline, CINAHL, and many more
• Toolkits: guides to key resources in particular professional areas or topics
• Order Sources: a service allowing you to obtain full text of resources to which we don't subscribe, free of charge
• Literature Searches: a service whereby librarians will provide you with a list of sources on a particular topic
• Training: live and recorded training sessions outlining features of our databases, approaches to searching in a particular topic area, and more

In addition to these and other resources on our site, you also have access to the library search. This brings together many of our subscription databases in one place for easy access.
