AIDS Ephemera has pictures of posters, buttons, and even comics used as public health materials to educate consumers on AIDS. The materials are drawn from the National Library of Medicine’s Prints & Photographs collection.

On July 16th, EBSCO released an updated version of its databases. CINAHL has been given a fresh, new look and incorporates some new features that Ovid’s CINAHL did not have.

Suggest Terms Search Box: Checking this box allows you to see the subject headings that best describe your search term. This is similar to the Map Term to Subject Heading box in OVID MEDLINE.

Cited References Tab: Type in an author’s name or a citation and see how  times the article has been cited in CINAHL.

New Ways to Limit Your Search:  Exclude MEDLINE Records, Inpatient, and Outpatient.

Creating Folders in CINAHL: By setting up a personal account, you can save your searches and create folders. You can also share your folders with others.

The Drexel University Libraries have switched its access for the CINAHL database (Cumulative Index for Nursing and Allied Health Literature) from the OVID interface to EBSCO.

Please accept our apologies for the abruptness of the switch; we had expected access to CINAHL through OVID to persist for a few more months. The EBSCO interface will offer some advantages — our concurrent use limit is higher, so students are less likely to find themselves unable to access the database when a crucial assignment is due. Downloading of search results into RefWorks is also simpler with EBSCO than with the OVID interface.

We are quickly preparing tip sheets and tutorials to help you navigate this new version of CINAHL; watch for these to be announced here and, as always, don’t hesitate to contact the libraries if you need any assistance:
