Global Health Database (Monday Memo 1/7/08)

New to the OVID suite of databases offered by the Lamar Soutter Library is Global Health. Global Health provides an alternative, complementary point of reference and includes citations from foreign language journals, books, research reports, patents and standards, dissertations, conference proceedings, annual reports, public health, developing country information, and other difficult to obtain material. Specialized subject matter includes communicable diseases, human nutrition, medicinal plants and community and public health. Like MEDLINE and our many other resources, full-text linking, when available, is presented at the citation level. And if you have searched MEDLINE using the OVID platform in the past, you will be happy to find that the search features work the same. To access Global Health, open the Lamar Soutter Library webpage and click OVID on the left-hand navigation bar.
