There are several ways to address the challenges posed by paywalls:
1. Institutional Subscriptions: Many healthcare institutions subscribe to journals and databases, providing their staff with access. Nurses should check with their employers to see what resources are available. 2. Open Access Journals: Open access journals provide free access to their content. Nurses can seek out these journals for research and information. 3. Interlibrary Loan Services: Many libraries offer interlibrary loan services, allowing nurses to request articles from other institutions. 4. Professional Organizations: Joining professional organizations can provide access to a wealth of resources, including journals, continuing education opportunities, and networking events.
