Database Tutorials
These self-pace interactive tutorials help researchers successfully navigate and utilize library resources. Use these modules to learn how to search for information and easily complete research related tasks in CINAHL, OVID Medline, and PubMed.
With Basic search on the new EBSCOhost, you can quickly run a search for your keywords. Quick filters are also available, enabling you to easily create a more targeted search before reviewing your results.
The new EBSCOhost allows users to conduct advanced searches using Guided-Style Find fields. Guided-Style Find fields assist you in creating a more targeted search. For example, you can enter your search terms into the search boxes and have EBSCOhost search for your terms in only specific citation search fields, such as the Title or Subject terms fields.
Subject terms are assigned based on article content, allowing you to create a targeted search. When you browse CINAHL Headings or MeSH Headings in the new EBSCOhost interface, you can select headings and subheadings to add to your search.
