Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) is a periodical index containing current listings for nursing and allied health fields. It is produced in five bimonthly issues each year. The issues are later bound by year. The index in Education Index would not present technical data on nursing topics. Materia Medicus is more pertinent to medicine. Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature focuses on articles from nontechnical magazines and would not contain references to nursing journal articles.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The stacks are where the majority of materials that can be checked out are located. It is necessary to know the call number found in the online catalog or card catalog to find the book. CD-ROMs, a source of textbook-like information, are rarely available for checkout. Vertical files hold pamphlets. The periodical section contains journals and magazines.
