Pathfinders

Guides to information sources.

Pathfinders are guides to information sources on specific topics often researched by occupational therapists.  They include resources that can be found in The Wilma L. West Library/OTSEARCH, and on the internet. Pathfinders direct you to specific and reliable sources of information on a topic.  The books, videos, websites and other sources that are included on the pathfinders have been evaluated and selected by librarians at the Wilma L. West Library, so you can be confident that the information will be current, reliable and credible.
