CSP Library Now Subscribes to CINAHL Plus with Full Text - The Premier Nursing, Health and Allied Services Database

We are happy to announce that the CSP Library now subscribes to CINAHL Plus with Full Text, the premier nursing, health, and allied services database available. From the EBSCOhost Web site:

It provides full text for more than 770 journals indexed in CINAHL®, including many of the most-used journals in the index—with no embargo. Of those, 464 are not found with full text in any version of Academic Search™, Health Source® or Nursing & Allied Health Collection™.  Offering complete coverage of English-language nursing journals and publications from the National League for Nursing and the American Nurses' Association, CINAHL covers nursing, biomedicine, health sciences librarianship, alternative/complementary medicine, consumer health and 17 allied health disciplines.  In addition, this authoritative file offers access to health care books, nursing dissertations, selected conference proceedings, standards of practice, educational software, audiovisuals and book chapters. 

Locate this database via our Databases A-Z or Databases by Subject List, found on the Library homepage under Research Tools, or via this direct link: CINAHL Plus with Full Text (EBSCO).
