buh-bye Medline (Ebsco), hello Medline (PubMed)

Most of you who have had the library talk on Medline have been shown Medline/PubMed through the free site provided by the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

For a few years, we've ALSO had access to Medline through the Ebscohost search engine.  It was a freebie that came with a subscription that has recently been canceled (EDS, the search system that USED to be under the red search box on the library home page, before we started moving to the new catalog search).

Our access to Medline through Ebscohost has now expired.  Alternatives?

If you're addicted to searching medical and health science content using the Ebsco search engine, try the health articles quick search from Ebsco.  It still searches through CINAHL, PsycInfo, PsycArticles, and Health Source.  The first results screen is limited to results with full text, but that option can be unchecked to see more results.

If you're hard-core Medline and want to stick to that source, keep using Medline with PubMed from the NLM.
