Finding Resources

Researching food and nutrition information can be an overwhelming process and often finding the right information is dependant on your ability to search on specific topics in the right places.
Fortunately I have had the help of our corporate library manager who has pointed me to some helpful websites. These resources are useful if you are an employeed, consultant or freelance RD- go ahead and try them out when you begin your next research project.

- www.doaj.org (Directory of Open Access Journal)
- www.biomedcentral.com
- www.nafwa.org (The Nutrition & Food Web aRchive)
- www.dogpile.com

Another great tip that I recieved is to set up Google Alerts, Bookmark and Reader accounts so that I can collect and organize information all online. The sites are easy to navigate and can be the gateway to using other online features.
