This article describes the major knowledge resource of the Virginia Henderson International Nursing Library, The Registry of Nursing. The first part of this article examines informatics issues and is accompanied by examples of retrieval from a typical bibliographic database and a retrieval from the Registry of Nursing Research using case mix, both as a subject heading and as a research variable. The second part of the article examines the interaction of informatics and technology used in the Registry and presents some other Library resources.
Nurses are increasingly in need of access to nursing libraries following changes to nurse education, increasing emphasis on the use of research to support practice, and the UKCC Post-Registration Education and Practice (PREP) requirements. A survey was, therefore, carried out among 255 libraries to determine whether nurses had sufficient access to nursing libraries. Eighty per cent of libraries said nursing were not denied access but only a third of university sites allowed full access and borrowing facilities. Implications of the findings are discussed.
OBJECTIVES: To inform oncology nurses about the electronic knowledge resources offered by the Sigma Theta Tau International Virginia Henderson International Nursing Library. DATA SOURCES: Published articles and research studies. CONCLUSIONS: Clinical nursing research dissemination has been seriously affected by publication bias. The Virginia Henderson International Nursing Library has introduced both a new publishing paradigm for research and a new knowledge indexing strategy for improving electronic access to research knowledge (findings). IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: The ability of oncology nursing to evolve, as an evidence-based practice, is largely dependent on access to research findings.

Prompted by the apparent unavailability of published information regarding the cataloging practices in North Carolina schools of nursing libraries, this study was conducted using a questionnaire sent to the thirty-eight schools of nursing in the state. The "average" North Carolina school of nursing library is an autonomous facility administered by nonprofessional personnel or by a person with an undergraduate degree in a nonlibrary field. The materials are organized by the National Library of Medicine Classification and Medical Subject Headings in combination with the Library of Congress classification and subject headings, except for bound journals which are shelved alphabetically by exact title. It is recommended that separate school of nursing and hospital or medical school libraries be consolidated under a trained librarian in order to standardize and unify cataloging practices on the local level and to gain the advantages available through regional and national cooperation of health sciences libraries.
