On campus and remote access has now been provided through the list of all library databases in addition to the philosophy and religious studies resource pages for the Philosopher's Index.
This resource is hosted on Ovid's SilverPlatter platform and updated quarterly. Only one user from APSU may access this resource simultaneously.
Options to "search for full-text" should appear in the citations for journal articles within this database.

Modifications to EBSCO nursing databases
In June, EBSCO discontinued individual links to the Clinical Pharmacology database and moved this content to the Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition database. Since APSU does not subscribe to this resource, all links to Clinical Pharmacology have been removed. An alternative resource to find pharmacology information is MICROMEDEX Health Care Series Online.
Pre-CINAHL content has been successfully integrated into the CINAHL with Full Text database. Users will no longer see a separate listing for Pre-CINAHL on the Choose Databases screen in EBSCOhost, and will be able to simply access all of this content through the above-referenced database.
In order to encourage the use of CINAHL subject headings, the combined link to the databases CINAHL with Full Text and Nursing and Allied Health Collection has been separated on the nursing subject page and the medical studies page. When searching both databases simultaneously, links to browse the CINAHL thesaurus and some other features are not available.
The full text journals in the Nursing and allied Health Collection are indexed by CINAHL and should be available when "searching for full text" through Article Linker.
Please let me know if you have questions concerning these modifications.

Seperation of PsycARTICLES and PsycINFO databases
The once combined databases PsycINFO and PsycARTICLES have been separated due to the fact that combined searching removes many of the limits available when searching within a single thesaurus. For example, when searching only PsycINFO users are given the option to set limits on the bottom of the search screen based upon age, population, language, etc.
These databases were combined when we had access to these and several other psychology databases through another vendor. If users still desire to search the databases simultaneously, directions have been provided on the intro page for each database.
Please note that the journals contained within PsycARTICLES are indexed by PsycINFO. Therefore, clicking on "Search for full text" links within PsycINFO citations will lead users to the full text articles in PsycArticles.
