Online Resources
If you live in Massachusetts and have a SAILS library card, you can access public library resources 24/7, free from your home or school computer.
To look for books, CDs, and DVDs, search the SAILS catalog (using your library card and PIN, usually the last 4 digits of your phone number).From within the SAILS catalog, choose the Online Magazines and Research Tools tab to search magazine and newspaper articles and reference e-books. Try the Health Reference Center and Nursing and Allied Health Collection to start, and look for other links for nursing, sports medicine/physical therapy, and psychology. You can do a keyword search across multiple collections.
These additional resources are available for Fall River Public Library cardholders only:
Folio Medical Directory - Search for doctors, specialists, medical groups, and hospitals in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.
Psychology and Mental Health is a full-text, online guide to many aspects of psychology.
