Two of our Nursing/Health Sciences databases will be changing interfaces due to changes in licensing by the publishers.
MEDLINE will be accessed by way of OvidSP. MEDLINE is the enhanced version of PubMed which is the major medical database in the USA. Many of you have used the OVID databases at your hospitals. The link to MEDLINE is through the Libraries Home Page link for Databases.
An OvidSP tutorial is available at

Following a five month study, it was decided that CINAHL, the nursing database, will be available through EBSCO's CINAHL PLUS database. Access is through the usual databases page on the BC Libraries Home Page.
An online EBSCO CINAHL SUPPORT CENTER, to help you learn how to get the most from CINAHL databases via the EBSCOhost interface has been set up at:
http://support.ebscohost.com/cinahl/
A demonstration of EBSCO's CINAHL PLUS will be arranged for Faculty next semester.
There will be a demonstration of CINAHL PLUS for the library staff on Tuesday, Jan. 13 at 10AM in O'Neill 307. Faculty and students who are available are welcome to attend this demonstration.
If there are any questions please contact Wanda at anderswb@bc.edu
