Unfortunately, off-campus access to subscribed resources is only available to current NWHSU students. We can, however, point you to a number of resources that are available to the public and are a good place to get started. This page includes links and descriptions to our recommended resources. If you need help, please contact library@nwhealth.edu.
The following databases are open access. This means they are available for anyone to use anywhere. You still may need to pay for access to the full-text version of the articles.
MN residents have access to some subscription databases and resources. You will get error message if you try to access them through NWHSU's site after you graduate. Some of the databases will recognize MN IP addresses and let you use them; others will require a local public library card number. Public library cards are free and easy to obtain.
