Need full text access?
Sometimes you may find an article in a library database or on Google Scholar that doesn't include full text access (or the full text might be behind paywall in the case of Google Scholar). Interlibrary loan is a program that allows Tisch Library to help you get the access you need with help from other academic and research libraries.

What do I need to find?
Professor Taylor has asked you to analyze the approaches of one nation to a health problem. To accomplish this, you'll need to investigate the country's approach to the health problem through data, policy, and journalism before situating the problem and response into context of the global health environment through exploring scholarly articles, books, and at least 10 news articles.
