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.
