Electronic Databases

CINAHL with full textThe premier nursing literature database, with many full text links or annotations on availability in the Nursing LRC. The Baylor Nursing LRC librarian recommends using this database first for nursing topics.
"CINAHL with Full Text" is the name of the database. It is not a guarantee that everything has full text. Use the BU Info Links button to locate any full text that isn't obvious. Be on the lookout for notes about print journals in Nursing LRC. Print journals are not onsite in the LHSON Academic Building.
Create your own folder to save citations, searches, or to export citation information to your RefWorks account, free as part of Baylor's campus-wide subscription. -
MEDLINEMEDLINE is a medical database created and maintained by the National Library of Medicine. It covers medicine and the related biomedical sciences, including some nursing. Nursing is not the focus of the database. MEDLINE EBSCO uses the same login as CINAHL and has similar features. If you are having trouble finding enough articles in CINAHL, MEDLINE is a good additional resource. It has a nursing journals filter. It does not have the peer reviewed filter or the research filter. It is a good idea to limit your search to Human, because MEDLINE content covers more than human medicine. MEDLINE EBSCO has the same content as PubMed. PubMed is the National Library of Medicine’s interface to MEDLINE.

PubMed
PubMed has the same content as MEDLINE EBSCO, but with a different interface. PubMed is the National Library of Medicine’s interface to MEDLINE. PubMed does not have the same features as MEDLINE. MEDLINE EBSCO is available through BU Central Libraries, which has a subscription. PubMed is available to anyone, although the full text of articles may not be. After you graduate, PubMed is going to be your go-to resource unless your workplace subscribes to MEDLINE EBSCO. -
