The SC4 library subscribes to a number of excellent nursing and allied health databases. When looking for research articles, it is sometimes easiest to use a nursing database to find information because it automatically narrows down your results to medical information.
CINAHL Ultimate is the largest nursing database. CINAHL stands for Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature. Although it does not matter whether you begin your search using the OneSearch, the library's federated search, or a subject specific database such as CINAHL Ultimate, using CINAHL will automatically narrow your results to nursing materials.
