A variety of LIBBIs, or library workshops, have been designed to compliment different levels of research needed for nursing students to succeed with assignments and develop illifelong learning skills. Workshop attendees will complete nursing research with ease and efficiency, sample ORU nursing databases, and learn basic and advanced skills and tools for nursing research.

Nursing students are introduced to subject and discipline related resource links, search strategies, and research tips to support course assignments and student research success. The Library Instruction focuses on evidence-based practice and/or gerontological nursing.
