About this Research Guide

CSUN University Library is introducing new services and  OneSearch.!   My contact information is on the left. E-mail is a good way to reach me.

Please be aware that  OneSearch does NOT offer you the full contents of databases such as  EBSCO databases CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health),  SPORTSDiscus  so it is necessary to go directly into the EbscoHost database(s), as well as using One Search.

Another database not included in OneSearch is:

Primal Pictures Interactive Anatomy 

Also known as Anatomy.tv, Primal Pictures provides a dynamic interactive multimedia overview of human anatomy in the area of sports and therapy. Features three-dimensional animations that illustrate function and biomechanics. Videos and textual descriptions supplement the animations and models
