Our subscribed online databases include: AMED, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, MEDLINE, and Trip Pro. You can also access our eBooks platforms (EBSCOhost and ProQuest). Content of these databases can be searched via our WorldCat Discovery.
CSP eLKAS provide access to several databases:
Using the databases separately allows you make use of the database specific functionality. Many databases feature a subject specific term (thesaurus) that relates to content on those databases. E.g. MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) is the National Library of Medicine controlled vocabulary thesaurus used for indexing articles for PubMed and MEDLINE.
