Welcome to Walla Walla University Libraries.
We are here to support you as you complete the requirements for your nursing degree and become prepared to serve your community as a nurse.
Nursing resources at WWU Libraries are found in two different locations. The Peterson Memorial Library (PML) collection is on our main campus in College Place. A more detailed collection is found in our SON Library on the Portland campus. Items housed in either location may be easily requested to from the other location through our Summit courier.
This guide will provide you with information about reference sources, academic books, finding journal articles and research based scholarly sources. It will also point you in the direction of recognized websites for health information and news within the Nursing discipline.
If at any time you have any questions please contact your Portland Campus Librarian Douglas McClay (Douglas.McClay@wallawalla.edu).
