Full-Text Electronic Journals
February 22, 2007
When searching the library's databases, we know that ultimately you want to get the full-text of the article.
Often the database will provide, or lead you to, a full-text link. Unfortunately, we are not 100% totally there yet! Sometimes no full-text link is provided, but the library may still have an electronic copy of the article you are looking for.
Try looking in the following locations for the journal articles you are having problems with. Search by the name of the journal.
Keep in mind that most journals started providing electronic access around the mid-1990's. Use the catalog to find out if the library has a print copy (along with the electronic one) so you can make a photocopy.
So what happens if you still can't find the journal or date you need?
Request a copy through Interlibrary Loan, using ILLIAD. This service is fast, easy, and there is no cost to you.
Remember, if you located on the South Campus, you can request journal articles and books located on the North Campus to be delivered to the South Campus to save you a trip. Use Document Express, for this service.
Information-wise, we are still in an electronic transition period. So while the systems are working to make it more seamless for you, we still have a bit to go. If you can't find what you need, give a call and I can help.

New Database: EMBASE.com
February 15, 2007
Does your research involve drug-related topics?
Then you might be interested in EMBASE via Elsevier, also referred to as Embase.com
It provides comprehensive coverage of drug research, pharmacology, pharmaceutics, pharmacy and toxicology, clinical medicine, public health, occupational health, environmental health rehabilitation and physical therapy, basic biological research relevant to human medicine, alternative medicine; and much more. It's true strength is its indexing of the drug literature.
This bibliographic database consists of EMBASE (the "European MEDLINE") and MEDLINE together, with the duplicates removed. it indexes over 7,000 journals, adding 2,000 records daily, and contains about 18 million citations at the moment.
Give it a try, and call if I can help with searching.

CINAHL Plus with Full Text
February 15, 2007
By now, you probably have noticed that we offer CINAHL via 2 vendors: OVID and EBSCO.
What's the difference?
Besides a different interface, the EBSCO version it is an enhanced version of the CINAHL (via OVID) that you know so well. It includes more years, features a visual display option, and includes more full-text.
A useful feature is the Cited References search box. See who is citing your work or the work of others you are interested in.
Take a look at the Evidence Based Care Sheets and Quick Lessons to see if you can use them for patient education activities.
The instrumentation search field, under Indexes, is quite refined.
Best of all, results for searches can be formatted in a variety of output styles, including APA!
Yes, In the EBSCO version, you can still:
- easily export to EndNote
- limit to research and other limiters
- save searches and strategies
- set up alerts
- use subheadings
- review your search history
- find related ("more like this") citations
As always, I am happy to advise!
