Nursing: Off-Site Program at Raritan Valley Community College

This guide serves as a gateway to library resources and services available to students, faculty, and staff at Kean University's School of Nursing Offsite Program at Raritan Valley Community College.

Welcome

The Nancy Thompson Learning Commons strives to meet the information needs of the Kean community by providing a broad range of resources and services.  Although the Learning Commons is physically located on the Union campus, digital resources and services are also available to all Kean students and faculty working at remote locations, including the Kean University School of Nursing off-site program at Raritan Valley Community College.

The Learning Commons web page serves as the gateway to the "virtual" library. In addition, information geared to remote/off-site students appears on this guide, not only under the current "Welcome" tab but also under the other tabbed pages listed across the top third of the page.
