New Access for NEJM

The New England Journal of Medicine is now available on the library's electronic journals page directly from the publisher (Highwire Press) instead of through Journals@Ovid. This change allows patrons access to articles in PDF format as well and the HTML that was only available from Ovid. Full Text coverage begins with the January 1993 issue. To access all e-journals, login to the UMMC library page and click on Electronic Journals under Resources.

Scopus Database Trial

The Library is currently hosting a trial of the abstract and citation database service Scopus. Scopus indexes over 16,000 peer-reviewed journals from more than 4,000 publishers and provides superior support of the literature research process. For more information about Scopus and access visit our news page.

CINAHL Databases Have Moved from Ovid to Ebsco

New Access to CINAHL and Pre-CINAHL Through EBSCOhost

CINAHL is a bibliographic database for nursing and allied health professionals, students, educators and researchers. It indexes nearly 3,000 journals from the fields of nursing and allied health and contains more than 1,000,000 records from 1981 to present. Pre-CINAHL is a companion database to CINAHL and provides current awareness of new journal articles while they are being assigned additional indexing.
