At Northwest AHEC, we are committed to supporting nurses and healthcare professionals through access to high-quality education and evidence-based resources. One powerful tool available is the AHEC Digital Library (ADL)—a comprehensive resource designed to support clinical decision-making, research, and lifelong learning.

There are several easy ways to access and navigate the AHEC Digital Library:

• Browse directly from the ADL home page to explore journals, databases, and clinical tools

Whether you’re looking for the latest clinical guidelines, patient education materials, or research articles, the ADL is here to empower your practice.

Thank You, Nurses

This week, and every week, we honor the vital role nurses play in improving health outcomes and strengthening communities. Your knowledge, compassion, and commitment truly demonstrate the Power of Nurses.

Did you know that interlibrary loan (ILL) services are available through your regional AHEC library? These services are designed to support your learning, teaching, and clinical work by helping you access resources beyond what’s immediately available in your local or digital collection.

If you’re searching for a journal article, book chapter, or other scholarly resource that isn’t found in the AHEC Digital Library (ADL), your local AHEC library staff may be able to request it for you through interlibrary loan—often for a small fee. This service helps ensure you have timely access to the information you need, even when it comes from outside the AHEC network.

Getting started is easy! Visit https://library.ncahec.net, click “HOME,” then select “Regional Libraries” to find contact information for your local AHEC library. Library staff are happy to answer questions, help track down hard-to-find resources, and guide you through the request process.

We look forward to helping you with all your library and research needs—don’t hesitate to reach out and make the most of the resources available to you!
