Motivational Quote

“I attribute my success to this...I never gave or took an excuse."

Florence Nightingale

Research Highlights

The Nightingale Library offers a concept map visual tool feature to assist with brainstorming research topics. A concept map is a diagram that shows the relationships between different ideas. This helps you understand how they’re connected. Concept maps for research offer a variety of benefits that can significantly improve the way you approach and organize your research. Concept maps assist with critical thinking, visualizing complex relationships and are a great way to start the research process.
