Bay Area College of Nursing offers a wide variety of resource material related to nursing education including textbooks and journal. The resource center provides students with access to current publications and quiet workspace. Computers are available for student use.

Bay Area College of Nursing provides students with online library resources allowing the students to perform research on topics covered in each of the certificate, vocational, and non-degree programs. The library will be utilized to research databases providing the student with the most thorough and up-to-date research material available. The library also will provide students with a number of URLs for free online libraries and research organizations.

The online library integrates EBSCOhost Electronic Journals Service (EJS) as the student’s gateway to thousands of e-journals containing articles from hundreds of publishers. A student may search and find textbooks, periodicals, news and current events, encyclopedias and dictionaries, economic data, and healthcare directories. A student may conduct a search by title, author, subject area, or key words. Students wanting to utilize the onsite library will have access to resource materials and tutoring.
