The following resources are IN ADDITION TO Health Reference Center, PAIS, and the other databases we looked at in class...These are just a FEW of the possible databases that lend themselves to the topic...







Colorado Health Information Dataset and Colorado Health Resources has information on pandemic readiness in Colorado for Wendy Mayoros. She simply needs to type "pandemic" in the search box.
Denver Department of Health has information too. She simply needs to type "pandemic". Public Administration/Affairs has articles on municipalities though they are not limited to Denver. Wendy should type "pandemic" on line 1 of the search box and "preparedness" on line 2.

Joe Weir will like PubMed Central. It has 65 articles using the search "universal health care and Costa Rica". InfoNation will have health care statistics for Costa Rica that can be compared with up to 6 other nations at a time. Box 1--select"socioeconomic grouping", box 2--select "country grouping" "high human development", box 3--select Costa Rica. Then you will have a choice of many pull-down graphs to choose from. United Nations Statistical Databases will have statistics by typing "health and Costa Rica". Nation Master will also have information by typing "Costa Rica and health".

PsycINFO has too many articles on substance abuse treatment programs for Todd Andrews. He might want to think of a way to narrow his topic.

USASearch http://usasearch.gov/ has some excellent resources on diabetes forChristina Phoukee.

PubMed Central has too many articles on neurology clinics so I used "outpatient neurology clinics" for John DuPont's search.


SportDiscus has 43 articles on hippotherapy for Danika Frunz. PubMed Central also has some articles on the topic. GuideStar has information about nonprofit programs that use horses.


CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health) has more than 400 full text articles on geriatric nutrition for Crystal Fulmer. She should enter both words on line one of the search box since it is considered a subject phrase.

Biological and Biomedical Journal Literature has too many articles on allografts for Seth Hahn. He will have to add another term to line 2 of the search to limit the topic. For example allografts and bone surgery, etc.

Journals@Ovid has 169 articles on AIDS Clinics for Jamie McCleary. Jamie should mark the boxes for both "journals" and "medical collections full text". On the blank line Jamie can enter AIDS Clinics. http://www.aids.gov is a clearinghouse for AIDS information.


Business Insights will have a dozen articles on private hospitals for Patrick Smith. He should put quotation marks around "private hospitals". General Business File will have 11 articles. He should type "private hospitals and administration". PubMed Central will have 1,200 articles. He should type "private hospitals and administration".

Colorado Health Resources will have good links to information for health care reform in Colorado for Anna Mapes. Colorado Health Information Dataset will have statistics for her research. She can enter "health insurance" in the search box at the top of the page and get many articles. Colorado General Assembly is a keyword searchable site where she can look for Colorado bills and legislation about health care.

Public Administration/Affairs will have 223 articles for Kate Lof on health care reform and insurance. She should enter "health care reform" on line one of the search box and "health insurance" on line 2.

Samantha Fiorini will want to look at CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health) for her topic of the nursing shortage. In this case "nursing shortage" is a distinct term so both words stay together on line one of the search--Jen does not have to split them out. There are 1,876 full text articles. Jen could add a second line to the search to focus it. For example, adding the word "pediatric" to line two would help narrow the search. Medical and Nursing Collection Full Text has 2,794 full text articles on the nursing shortage.

Librarians Internet Index http://lii.org/pub/topic/health is a clearinghouse of health websites. Alt HealthWatch will have many articles on alternative medicine and alternative therapies for Kyle Huxford, Karen Lanigan, Dalyn Olmstead, and Amanda Berthod.

Amy Marshall should look at Nation Master (United Nations). There are many really excellent full text entries on healthcare in other countries. This topic is too broad so she might want to focus on a specific country to compare and contrast with the U.S.. For example, She could type "healthcare and Switzerland" in the search box and find 372 articles. She will need to spell out the word "and".

Ashtyn Reilly's topic is mental health centers. If she is interested in community mental health centers, she will find 211 articles in Public Administration/Affairs . She should enter all 4 words together on line one of the search box since this is a subject phrase. Many, though not all, of the articles will be available in full text. There are some interesting articles on daycare centers for the mentally ill in Cochrane Library Ashtyn should enter the words "mental center".

Kimberlee will find full text articles in Professional Development Collection using the terms "hospice [AND] children" and "palliative [AND] children". (Remember to put these key terms on separate lines.) Project Muse has 164 full text articles from a humanistic perspective. Use the terms "palliative care [AND] children". Medical and Nursing Collection Full Text has many articles, 3 of which are specifically on the Butterfly Program. Journals@Ovid has 4 articles on the Butterfly Program. Use the terms "Butterfly Program" [AND] oncology". CancerNet has many cutting edge articles using the keywords "palliative care children". The Initiative for Pediatric Palliative Care http://www.ippcweb.org/ has materials and videos.


For Maggey PubMed Central has more than 2,000 full text articles on rural health care including 372 articles on rural health issues in Colorado. The keywords "rural health Colorado" will bring these up.

Jodi will find out about the business end of oncology clinics in Business Insights and General Business File ASAP . Try two separate searches. In one search use the term "oncology services". Try a second search with "oncology clinics". Journals@Ovid has 439 articles. Jodi will want to look at some of Kimberlee's resources as well.

Emerald Full Text has 33 full text articles for Alexis. Enter "physicians assistants" on line one and "job satisfaction" on line 2.

LexisNexis Academic has 863 law review articles on nursing homes and patient rights for Angela, Nicole, Love, and Kevin. Click on the "legal" tab and select "law reviews". Type "nursing homes and patient rights" in the blank box. (You will need to spell out the word "and")

Medline (Thomson) has 444 articles for Kevin on mobile clinics. Many, though not all, are full text. Kevin could add "United States" to search line two or he could browse articles for mobile clinics in many countries. Since Kevin's topic as he described it was "travelling medicine", he could also try searches for visiting nurses or home healthcare. Health Reference Center Academic has 409 full text articles on home healthcare, 25 articles on mobile clinics, and 137 articles on visiting nurses. In the last two instances many, but not all, will be full text.

Brenda will want to share Kevin's resources.


Alayna may want to look at General Business File ASAP for articles on MRSA as they affect facilities and their bottom lines. MRSA brings up over 900 articles, so Alayna will want to customize her search. Perhaps "MRSA" on line one and "hospitals" on line two of the search box? Other possible combinations--colleges and MRSA, schools and MRSA, MRSA and prevention, etc. SCIRUS is another good database. Since MRSA brings up more than 7,000 articles, Alayna should focus this search as well.

Kamette and Jarred Miller may like Public Administration/Affairs . She can enter the phrase "single payer health insurance" on line one of the search box. (Normally we would break out our key words on separate lines but not in this case.) General Business File (see above) also has articles. Left Index has some interesting articles on "universal healthcare". Enter this term on line one and "United States" on line two. Select the "all words" option. Does Kamette want to know what the next presidential administration has in mind for health care reform? A wealth of information can be found here. http://library.auraria.edu/guides/subject/government/2008elections.html

Annaliese will need to focus her topic of "chronic disease centers". For example, she could choose "renal clinics", "long term care facilities", "diabetes clinics", etc. Health Reference Center Academic has some fine full text articles. Journals@Ovid also has articles. In this case, the database seems to prefer "renal facilities" rather than "renal clinics", etc.
