Online resources
Clinical Knowledge Network (CKN) is an online collection of key health databases, books and journals. It is available to all QLD Health staff. See our CKN guide.
For COVID-19 information sources, visit our library guide. A key resource is CKN’s COVID-19 (coronavirus) information centre.
A selection of UQ databases, eBooks and eJournals can also be accessed from Library computers.
Referencing
Our referencing guides will help you format your reference list in styles such as APA, Vancouver and AMA.
EndNote software stores and manages references from databases, Google Scholar and more. Use Endnote to quickly create a reference list. Contact your librarian for EndNote help and training.

We offer customised training sessions in the Library or your department. We can provide in-service training or individual consultations.
