CINAHL and Other Nursing Databases
CINAHL, 1982-present [off-campus access]
CINAHL (the main database for nursing and allied health literature) indexes articles from the professional journal literature from 1982 to the present (though some journal titles are retrospectively indexed back to 1937). Articles from more than 1000 journals are covered, as well as books, pamphlets, dissertations, books and chapters, audiovisuals, research instruments, evidence-based care sheets, software, and more. (Pre-CINAHL, which was once a separate database, is now incorporated into CINAHL.)

HealthSource: Nursing/Academic Edition [off-campus access]
HealthSource: Nursing indexes nearly 850 journals in the health fields, and includes the full-text for over 500 of those titles. The interface also includes Lexi-Comp's LexiPALS drug information and Merriam-Webster's Medical Desk Dictionary. Unlike CINAHL, the database is not designed to suggest subject terms; consider searching or browsing the Subjects (button at the top of the page).
ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health Source [off-campus access]
ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health Source covers 270 titles in nursing and allied health; many of the articles are available as PDF files, others are available in HTML or ASCII format.
