•

MSVU Library’s Subject & Research Guides (Applied Human Nutrition)

•

Science & Nutrition database searches (sample keywords: diabetes, prostate cancer,

androgen deprivation therapy) – used Academic Search Premier, PubMed, Science

Direct (Elsevier Journals) and Web of Science

•

Saved resources to RefWorks account

Importance: I found Academic Search Premier and Science Direct the most useful for the topics I

was researching. Being able to search through the Applied Human Nutrition section was very

helpful. I found RefWorks is extremely important when researching this paper.

research papers.
