I attended an on-line workshop yesterday about Consumer Health Complete by Ebsco. It’s not just for “consumers”. They have compiled an extensive list of publications (professional journals, etc) to be used while searching for information.

 

I’ve told you how to sift through the Academic Search Premier and ProQuest to create a journal alert. But you have to “ know” the periodical is medically related.

 

Consumer Health Complete has “sifted” for you!

 

GALILEO http://www.galileo.usg.edu

…Select the tab Databases A-Z (far right across the top)

…..Jump to C

…….Consumer Health Complete

………..Select Advanced Search (only a text link)

…………....Select Publications (a link on the far right under North Metro Technical College)

……..Listed are a wide variety of publications- some are “embargoed” for a year- the publishers do want us to buy the print version.

 

Notice the orange RSS link. If you have a “feed reader” (and I can show you how they work) you can have updates sent there. OR you can create a journal alert and receive e-mails when articles are added from that periodical.
