Provides Tips on how best to use Queensland Health Libraries Search.

Databases A to Z

The Databases A to Z collection lists all of the electronic databases, point-of-care tools, medicine resources available to Queensland Health employees. Some databases, such as PubMed, are free for anyone to use, but others require a subscription to access their content.

The  databases A-Z tool lets you:

  • search for databases by title, publisher or broad subject category
  • search a single database by connecting directly to the site

Searching for databases

There are several ways to find a particular database, including:
  • browse the alphabetical list
  • search for a known database title (e.g. Medline)
  • search for a clinical topic (e.g. nursing)

Accessing databases

You can click on a database title to go directly to that site and start searching. Depending on your access rights, you may need to login with your QH Libraries logon or a CKN OpenAthens login. If in doubt, contact your QH librarian for assistance
