Databases and Research

1. The AP Source found HERE provides students with excellent peer-reviewed journals with tools to help organize and cite research. It’s the most powerful database we have. Britannica School is another excellent starting point for general information on issues during pregnancy, childbirth and birth defects.
2. The Library Catalogue provides you with remote access to our digital and streaming media collection. It also allows you to search the print collection to see what books will be available for circulation.
3. Other websites that may be helpful are government sites such as Public Health Agency of Canada (Diseases and Conditions) and Health Canada (Health Concerns).
4. SickKids, Mt. Sinai, World Health Organization as well as some foundations directly related to the condition have useful and credible information as well.

Remember that the databases are password-protected and some of the passwords have changed since last year. You will need to be logged into AW to access these resources. Look for the orange Passwords & Info icon in the Virtual Library.
