  1. Tutorial No. 41 Searching for Information at a higher level: Master in Science in Nursing & Master in Science in Health Science

  2. Welcome to information literacy, where you learn where to search and how to search electronic information. It is important that you have done some practice before. For example following the basic tutorials on the library web page

  3. Since EBSCO holds most of our databases subscriptions, it is wise to register in My EBSCOhost. Advantages: It saves searches, alerts, articles, videos, images It retrieves the above information from any internet It saves Alerts of your favorite journals It manages as many folders as courses & topics you need It e-mails Alerts of specific searches with the most recent information It allows you to create notes when reading an article By saving the information you can always go back to the source and to the reference citation. You have received an invitation to go to US UNIVERSITY ONLINE DATABASES TUTORIALS Please select Searching Medline Register EbscoHost Alert It opens into Guide no. 5 Searching MEDLINE Full Text: by Subject, & by Publications. Register in My Ebsco Host & Create Alerts Why Medline database ?

  4. 1.MEDLINE FULL TEXT provides authoritative medical information on medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, the health care system and pre-clinical sciences. Uses MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) indexing with tree, tree hierarchy, subheadings and explosion capabilities to search citations from over 4,800 current biomedical journals included in MEDLINE. Full text for more than 1,450 journals. Full-text coverage dating back to 1965.

  5. Your first stop has been accomplished by following the tutorial Searching Medline Register EbscoHost Alerts Search in the abstract field Open all links from an article Sort result by Relevance Search the index (Mesh Heading) Search by Publications Sign into my EBSCOhost Create a Publication Alert Organize your own folders in EBSCO server

  6. Another important database is : 2.Academic Search Premier – This multi-disciplinary database provides full text for more than 4,600 journals, including full text for nearly 3,900 peer-reviewed titles. PDF back files to 1975 or further are available for well over one hundred journals, and searchable cited references are provided for more than 1,000 titles. Take a look at the following table, it tells you the quantity of full text journals titles per subject. Health Science includes nursing and medicine

  7. Take a look of these tutorials and learned the best of EBSCO: Advance Search in EBSCO EBSCO Academic Search Premier and use of Subject Terms Use of Indexes in EBSCO database Academic Search Premier Visual Search

  8. From EBSCO you can search other databases, they all have different content, for example: 3.CINAHL with full text: Full text for more than 750 journals, full text for 240 books/ monographs. Full text coverage dating back to 1937. More than 2,000,000 records dating back to 1981. In addition, this database offers access to health care books, nursing dissertations, selected conference proceedings, standards of practice, educational software, audiovisuals, and book chapters I would like to know the nursing books included in CINAHL. Log in CINAHL DATABASE Search NURSING (TI) , refine your results selecting full text and in the Source types select books The results are chapters, of the latest editions from F.A. Davis Publisher: Ch.4 Critical care nursing Ch..5 pediatric nursing Ch. 6 Geriatric nursing In: Client Management & Leadership Success: A course review applying critical thinking to test taking. 2009

  9. It is important for you to see the following Tutorials : Searching EBSCO Nursing Reference Center-Assessment Searching EBSCO Nursing Reference Center-Diagnosis Searching EBSCO Nursing Reference Center-Planning Once your learned how to search the above, you can search the rest of the modules: Planning and Evaluation 4. Nursing Reference Center: Contain best practice guidelines. Clinically organized quick lessons. Continuing education modules. Detailed medical illustrations. Evidence-based care sheets. Integrates into any EHR/EMR System. The latest medical news legal cases. Nursing guides. Point-of-care drug information. Research instruments. Skills and procedures and unique point-of-care reference books.

  10. EBSCO: Cochrane Library from Wiley 5.Cochrane database of Systematic Review: contains full text articles, as well as protocols focusing on the effects of health care. Data is evidence-based medicine and is often combined statistically (with meta-analysis). A systematic review identifies an intervention for a specific disease or other problem in health care, and determines whether or not this intervention. works. To do this authors locate, appraise, and synthesize evidence from as many relevant scientific studies as possible. They summarize conclusions about effectiveness, and provide a unique collation of the known evidence on a given topic, so that others can easily review the primary studies for any intervention. Method reviews are full-text systematic reviews of methodological studies. Diagnostic test accuracy reviews are full-text systematic reviews of studies that assess the accuracy of a diagnostic test or tests for a given target condition in a specific patient/participant group and setting.

  11. EBSCO: 6.Cochrane Methodology Register The Cochrane Methodology Register is a bibliography of publications which report on methods used in the conduct of controlled trials. It includes journal articles, books, and conference proceedings; these articles are taken from the MEDLINE database and from hand searches. The database contains studies of methods used in reviews and more general methodological studies which could be relevant to anyone preparing systematic reviews. CMR records contain the title of the article, information on where it was published (bibliographic details) and, in some cases, a summary of the article. They do not contain the full text of the article.

  12. A good reason to search Cochrane database, from the BBC news: ** Zinc &#039;can treat the common cold&#039; **Taking zinc syrup, tablets or lozenges can lessen the severity and duration of the common cold, experts believe.< http://www.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/news/health-12462910 > A review of the available scientific evidence suggests taking zinc within a day of the onset of cold symptoms speeds recovery. It may also help ward off colds, say the authors of the Cochrane Systematic Review that included data from 15 trials involving 1,360 people. But they say zinc cannot be used long-term because of toxicity concerns. Excessive amounts can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea.

  13. I searched zinc & common cold (title) on Cochrane Database Systematic Reviews, and found: One article with eight trials I also searched Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. It had more trial information. To learn more about Zinc and common cold, I decided to open the search to: CINAHL, Academic Search Premier, Medline, Cochrane Methodology Register, I searched PROQUEST And at the end I searched open sources like: OPENDOAR, OAISTER & Google Scholar.

  14. Besides EBSCO, McGraw Hill, & ProQuest, you can complete your search with Open Access Online Information: OPENDOAR. Directory of Open Access Repositories DOAJ. Directory of Open Access Journals OAISTER. Open Access Information Open J Gate. REDALYC. Scientific Journals from Latin America SCIELO. Scientific Electronic Library Online WHOLIS. World Health Organization Library & Information Networks for Knowledge

  15. In the following two tables, you will find for each database or open access service, the full text journals by subject. For example there are 601 titles of full text journals in Health Science in EBSCO-Academic Search Premier, 158 in DOAJ, 2979 in biomedical science in OpenJGate, 172 e- books & 1072 thesis in OAISTER. Not mentioned in the tables, PROQUEST has 715 journals full text and McGraw Hill has 60 e-books through ACCESS MEDICINE

  16. ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Source Source provides abstracting and indexing for more than 850 titles, with over 715 titles in full-text, plus more than 12,000 full text dissertations representing the most rigorous scholarship in nursing and related fields Researchers & students gain exclusive access to highly valuable evidence-based nursing information from The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) These resources include Systematic Reviews, Evidence Summaries, and Best Practice Information Sheets

  17. ACCESS MEDICINE from McGraw Hill Access to more than 60 medical titles (books) from the best minds in medicine, updated content, thousands of images and illustrations, interactive self-assessment, case files, diagnostic tools, and a comprehensive search platform.

  18. After going through the content of each database and open access services: Look at your assignment Define your subject Write all your questions Select keywords, no use of articles Decide carefully what databases to search

  19. Defining fluoridation, what is the amount of Fluoride permitted in drinking water What is the human effect of too much or non fluoride in drinking water? What is the content of salts & metals in drinking water? Does fluoride concentration varies depending of the geographic region? How is flour found in natural environments? What is the reason on adding fluoride to the drinking water? Is it good for our health? 3. Are there benefits & consequences in adding fluoride to drinking water Do we need to take any precautions? How many years of experience the research shows? Another good example from San Diego news: Fluoridation start soon in San Diego.

  20. After writing all the questions I needed to know, I looked for the right database to search, and I decided that: I will start searching in EBSCO-Academic Search Premier (multidisciplinary) for the following keywords and selecting the Title option: fluoride and drinking water , fluoride and chemistry, fluoride and water content, fluoride and human effects, fluoride and pollution. Under agency, look for the government agency in charge of drinking water regulation Once I found in EBSCO the Environmental Protection Agency, I looked on the web for it and started navigating- I selected “ Learn the Issues” then “Drinking water” and “Fluoride”. And for more information, I searched open sources like: OPENDOAR, OAISTER & Google Scholar.

  21. I searched Cochrane databases, CINAHL and Database of Abstracts of reviews for controlled trials. I searched in the Abstract field the keywords: fluoride and humans, selecting only full text articles I did not limit the results by year, since I need to know how far back in years the research goes. Limiting or not limiting the information depends on the results you need
