Assignment: Anorexia Nervosa
Give a definition, describe the symptoms, the causes, the side- effects on the body, as well as ways of prevention.
Use at least 4 scientific sources. Use books as well as journals.
How to search for resources in the library :
For a definition, use a medical dictionary. There are online dictionaries and encyclopedeas available under E-reference Books
Books
On the library’s home page, in the catalogue keyword search box, put in the keywords eating disorders. You will find many books located on level 1. There will be chapters on Anorexia Nervosa in those books.
If you put Anorexia Nervosa in the keyword window the whole book will be about Anorexia Nervosa. Perhaps too much information for this assignment.
Journal articles
On the library’s home page, in the Find e-journal search box, put in the words: eating disorders. Select one of the Journal titles, and do a search within that journal, by using the words Anorexia Nervosa.
You can also use Ebsco Host platform. Select all the health databases, and Medline. Put in Anorexia Nervosa as your main search term, and use all the other search terms (causes, symptoms, side-effects, prevention) alternatively.
