What Other Students Learned

  1. Avoid searching Cinahl and Medline simultaneously
         Terms for the same concept frequently vary between the two databases and searching them together will unintentionally limit your search.
    • Tip: If you select Choose Databases to switch from one index to another, first deselect box adjacent to the title that you’ve been searching to turn it off.
  2. Don’t limit searches to “Full Text”
    By selecting this limit you will:
    • Miss other full text articles that are accessible from other databases and publisher’s websites through Article Linker.
    • Exclude many other excellent records.
  3. Save your searches
    It’s always a good idea to save your searches for later use. Even saving failed searches will help you remember what didn’t work. Instructions for saving are located under HELP in each database.

      5. To retrieve full text from E-mailed articles follow these instructions:

  • Copy and Paste this URL into your Internet browser window http://www.library.umaine.edu/auth/EZProxy/test/authej.asp?url=
  • Copy the persistent link URL from your email Ebsco record.
  • Paste this at the end of the URL you have already pasted into the browser.

  • The end result will look like two complete URLs connected by an equal sign. For example: http://www.library.umaine.edu/auth/EZProxy/test/authej.asp?url= http://search.epnet.com/loginaspx?direct=true&db=aph&an=16793723

        6. Some full text articles may not always be available off campus

  • There are three types of full text articles:
     Those provided by the Ebsco database e.g., CINAHL/MEDLINE, and labeled HTML or PDF
    Those labeled Linked Full Text may represent two scenarios:
    • Articles that link to another Ebsco database that are available off campus.
    • Articles at the publisher's website that may not be accessible off campus.
  • Tip: Articles not available online can be ordered on interlibrary loan.
