New Resources
New Databases for 2014
The Library is
pleased to enrich our collection of electronic
resources. For 2014, we have subscribed to some
notable databases to strengthen our coverage on
subjects of Arts and Nursing.
A good place to start appreciating the
collections of
National Palace Museum in Taiwan,
National Palace Museum Collections Online
provides access to photographs and descriptive
articles of a special collection of antiquities,
paintings, and calligraphies from the National
Palace Museum in Taiwan, noted for their
historic significance, importance, rarity,
artistry, and popularity.
National Palace Museum
Periodicals Online
archives the full-text of the two periodicals of
the National Palace Museum. Online full-text
access of
The National Palace Museum Monthly of Chinese Art
and
The
National Palace Museum Research Quarterly
are available since 1983 and 2001 respectively.
A
unique online collection of videos,
Nursing Education in Video
is created specifically for the education and
training of nurses, nursing assistants, and
other healthcare workers. As a single,
cross-searchable collection, it covers the
fundamentals of nurse training and advanced
topics. All of the videos are regularly reviewed
for accuracy, currency, and compliance with US
Federal regulations from agencies such as OSHA
and CMS.
