Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence Based Database

Through the additional funding provided by the Provost, the O’Neill Library has been able to add the Joanna Briggs Institute database

JBI COnNECT+ (Clinical Online Network of Evidence for Care and Therapeutics)

JBI COnNECT+ (Clinical Online Network of Evidence for Care and Therapeutics) provides access to resources to help the health care professional find and use evidence to inform clinical decision-making

• This database will add to our Evidence Based Nursing Resources. This resource consists of JBI databases (including the JBI Library of Systematic Reviews, Best Practice Information sheets, Evidence Summaries and Evidence Based Recommended Practices)
• There are basic and advanced searching capabilities
• Searching can also be done by “nodes” or areas of care

IMAGES on PubMed

PubMed continues to add features that allow you to link to information and resources contained in other NCBI databases.
• A NEW Images Database will be linked to those citations that contain images in PubMed Central articles. If an article in PubMed Central contains images, thumbprints of several of the first images will display below the citation in the abstract view. A link to see all images will be available. In addition, mousing over the image will bring up a preview. Read the Technical Bulletin for more information with screen shots about this new feature. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/so10/so10_pm_display_ncbi_images.html

The Images Database is searchable on its own as well. Check it out here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/images. It is included in the list of databases from the drop down menus in PubMed and NCBI resources.
Remember that Copyright Restrictions may still apply to materials found in PubMed Central. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/about/copyright.html

• Also, please note that PubMed is in its annual “Year-End Processing” where changes to citations are being made to conform with 2011 version of MeSH and other changes. This means that NLM temporarily suspends the addition of fully-indexed MEDLINE citations.
