Library Adds Gale's Health Reference Center Academic

Our library has purchased an online subscription to Gale’s Health Reference Center Academic database. This resource includes the full text and images of respected nursing, allied health and medical journals; consumer health magazines; newsletters; pamphlets; newspaper articles; topical overviews; and reference books.

This is an excellent resource for many of Century's health programs, from Health Sciences to Orthotics. To get started, just click on the link above, or go to the Library’s home page at http://www.century.edu/library/ and click on Databases A-Z and look under Gale.
