The Public Health research guide serves as a conduit to librarian curated information including peer reviewed journals, newspapers, videos, and books. Materials are available online within our research databases and can be accessed anywhere and at anytime. Tangible materials are located at all of our locations and resources at one campus can be freely delivered to any Mercer campus.
Research and reference help is available to our students in-person, scheduled consultations, videos, FAQ's and our twenty four hour chat service. Library research classes are also offered to show students how to find peer reviewed articles, how to cite information, and how to locate the proper material for assignments.
