  5. HINARI Log-In 2 You will need to insert your HINARI User Name and Password in the Login box and click on the Login button.

  6. Access PubMed via HINARI From the main HINARI webpage, you can access PubMed by clicking Search HINARI journal articles through PubMed (Medline)

  7. Preview/Index 1 Click on the Preview/Index link below the query box on the main PubMed page.

  8. Preview/Index 2 Preview will show the last three search terms and the results with set numbers indicated by the # symbol.

  9. Preview/Index 3 View Index allows you to query the PubMed database and see all the occurrences of a term and the number of records in the database.

  10. Preview/Index 4 In this example we will query the index for the term Zimbabwe. Click on the Index button.

  11. Preview/Index 5 Results of the Index query are displayed in the box. Each occurrence of the term is listed with the number of articles listed in parentheses.

  12. Preview/Index 6 To select from the list, click on each term as required. To make multiple selections, hold down the Ctrl key. Click on the AND, OR, NOT button to send the term to the main PubMed query box.

  13. Preview/Index 7 For the example, we will chose Zimbabwe/Epidemiology(828) from the Index list.

  14. Preview/Index 8 Click on Go and we see that we have 828 articles (07 2007) with Zimbabwe/epidemiology in the record.

  15. History 1 PubMed allows users to view previous searches through the History page. To access this page, click on the History link on the bar below the main PubMed query box.

  16. History 2 To build a search using History, begin by putting in your broadest search term. In this example, we will use public health as our main concept.

  17. History 3 The result for the public health search is 3.6 million articles (07 2007). These can be viewed as a search set by clicking on the History tab.

  18. History 4 On the History page, our first set is given a set number identified by the # symbol - in this example it is #1. On the right hand side of the page the number of articles is shown under the Result column.

  19. History 5 We can now search for malaria as a second search term from within the PubMed query box.

  20. History 6 As in the previous result, the malaria search can also be viewed by returning to the History page.

  21. History 7 The malaria search has now been given a set number #2. The number of articles in the set is shown on the right-hand side of the page.

  22. History 8 To combine public health with malaria, we can use the set numbers. To combine using AND, enter the search statement #1 AND #2.

  23. Using the drop down menu, you also can combine terms by clicking on a previous # plus the AND option. The current search term and the # chosen will be combined.
