OnLine Resources

  • Create a UH Email Account. If you don't already have a UH email address, sign up now. Even if you use AOL, Road Runner or Hotmail, its a good idea to open a UH account since its the address other UH students and faculty will be able to find. If you want to pick up your mail at only one address, you can forward your UH email to your other account, or vice versa. Having an account is also a condition to getting your own web site. http://www.hawaii.edu/help/accounts/idreqinfo.html
  • Useful UH UNIX commands. This page has simple instructions for managing your UH email/web account. It gives you the commands for forwarding your mail, findingout how much space you have left in your account, and changing your password. Print it and keep it handy. http://leahi.kcc.hawaii.edu/unix.html
  • Create a Free UH Web Page Here is the link to create your own website. This skill becomes handy when you want to share helpful information with classmates, and for learning to create your own web pages. In the future you can create educational pages for your patients and peers. Warning, setting up your account so you can do web pages is a little mysterious at first. Print this instructional page and follow it CAREFULLY step by step. http://www.hawaii.edu/personalhp/

Medical Libraries

  • UH Library Click here to access the new Hawaii Voyager library service for the University of Hawaii. Take a few minutes to go through the tutorial to become more efficient in your search. Perhaps the most efficient resource for you is the Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL).

Your KCC library card number may be necessary to access some of the reference databases. http://uhmanoa.lib.hawaii.edu/
