Full-Text Databases

Here are the full-text health databases we have to choose from:

Health Reference Center Academic:  A Thomson Gale database.  Full text of 750 publications in nursing, allied health, and consumer information.  Citations to articles in an additional 2200 journals (not full-text).

 

Health & Wellness Resource Center : A Thomson Gale database.  Providing consumer health information, the database includes nearly 400 health/medical journals, hundreds of pamphlets, over 700 health-related videos from partner Healthology, Inc., and articles from 2,200 general interest publications, in addition to a broad collection of Thomson Gale reference books.

 

We'll start with Health Reference Center Academic, since it includes the largest number of scholarly journals for the nursing full-text databases.
