It was based on the UBC Library Information Navigator tutorial written by Sheryl Adam, and updated for nursing students by Nursing Librarian, Lee Ann Bryant. Additional restructuring and rewriting was authored by Katherine Miller in 2016. Suzan Zagar was the key technical creator. Thanks to Yvonne Chan for her ongoing support of software challenges. Thanks to the Woodward Library Information Desk staff for ongoing library and research support.
