HSCI 2214: Perspectives on Mental Health and Wellness (Montgomery)

This is a 'get started' guide for the two-part Policy Brief assignment on a topic related to population mental wellness or mental health care.

Textbooks and books/ebooks on Reserve

Books in the Reserves collection, which is on the main floor of the library behind the Check Out desk, are usually current textbooks. They are popular and usually have a short loan period of only 3 hours, so that as many students as possible can share access to them.

You can check the library catalogue links below to see a book's descriptions/contents, and whether it is currently in use or avaialable.

  • Zotero
    A free open source citation management software available for Windows, Mac, Linux and mobile. More complex than ZoteroBib, but from the same non-profit organization (Zotero).There is a learning curve, so learn to use it when you have longer-term or multiple research projects and need a more complex citation management tool.

    Good for building a research library to support collaboration and longer term or multiple projects. Creating a Zotero account allows you to sync devices and use the Group/Sharing feature. See the Zotero Quick start guide.
