August is National Immunization Month!

 In recognition of August as National Immunization Month, the Law Library will highlight the following resources:

Lexis has a "Practice Area" for health care law, with a particular focus on the Affordable Care Act. The Affordable Care Act section encompasses case law, Federal Register documents, and secondary sources.

Westlaw too has a "Practice Area" section, but it is organized differently from that of Lexis. It does not emphasize the Affordable Care Act. Instead, it lists news and analysis on its main health law page. It includes categories such as cases, statutes, secondary sources, and proposed and enacted legislation and regulations.

In the Library, the Oxford Handbook of U.S. Health Law is available in print form. This book explores American health care law and policy and its relationship to medical ethics and constitutional principles.

Last but not least, the Belk Library Databases include health-related databases such as PubMed, Health and Medical Collection, Nursing and Allied Health, PsycARTICLES, and Public Health. These databases are arranged alphabetically and can be accessed with your Elon ID and password. This is not intended to be an exhaustive list, and you can browse the library webpage for additional examples.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us librarians.
