MEDLINE ____________ allows one to limit search by various areas of interest; use carefully since may exclude some relevant citations; most useful when there's a great deal of information on topic 15. this is a major medical database that's produced by the NLM; contains citations from approximately 5000 biomedical journals published in the US and in 70 other countries; contains well over 18 million citations dating back to 1950; available at MCPHS thru: OvidSP Medline (very expensive), PubMed Medline (free); most appropriate for novice searchers and uses FindIt@MCPHS 16. IPA searches are done with ________so searches aren't as controlled, can combine terms w/Boolean operators, and has fewer limits; MUST use SYNONYMS 17. this means that articles with no exact match are indexed to the closest related MeSH term 18. ____________ of Boolean Operators are usually necessary to obtain desired results 20. when searching the _______ database in PubMed, the _______ search will automatically map to exploded MeSH terms; click details tab to see how interface interpreted search b/c may be different from what you expect; get more results so good for things hard to find and if don't have much time; limits more important 22. $ is used for ___________ terms in a keyword search 25. this retrieves the most general MeSH term in addition to more specific MeSH terms that are indexed under it; ALWAYS view MeSH tree to see if you should do this 27. this secondary database is produced by Elsevier, Amsterdam; similar to Medline but indexes MORE EUROPEAN JOURNALS than medline; ~ 1800 journals UNIQUE to this database; allows you to search Medline as well; EXPENSIVE - usually only available in academic/research environments; use for: herbal or complementary therapies, may be more clinical experience in Europe than US, and when Medline provides low yield of citations; has a controlled vocabulary, EMTREE tree structure, subheadings for drugs and diseases, limit features, uses different spellings 28.
