FLC: 21st Century Health Challenges (ENGL110 / ARSC 198, Fall 2017)

Key Library Resources

Introduction

Welcome to the FLC: 21st Century Health Challenges Research Guide! This guide is designed to provide quick access to recommended resources that can support your research and class work. Using the tabs at left, you can find information about article databases, data sources, books, and links to other related research guides. 

This guide is meant as a starting point to highlight some of our most essential Population Health information sources. However, considering this is a highly interdisciplinary topic, the UNM libraries have many other resources available that may benefit you in your research and coursework. I am happy to arrange research consultations if you have troubling finding what you need. Don't hesitate to contact me with questions!
