Founded in the late 1960’s, the New York State Nurses Association Library is a repository of materials related to the practice of nursing and health care in New York. Decidedly non-clinical, the Library exists to meet the research and information needs of the association’s programmatic activities. These include such broad topical areas as: nursing practice, governmental affairs, continuing education, nursing education, and collective bargaining. Individuals with questions about the Library’s ability to meet their specific information needs should contact staff directly.
