The Creighton University Health Sciences Library is sponsoring trial access to two Global Health databases through 15 May 2013: Global Health and Global Health Archive.

Global Health provides indexing and abstracts of public health research and practice around the world, including over 2 million scientific records from 1973 to the present from over 6,000 serials, books, book chapters, reports, conference proceedings, patents, theses, electronic publications and other hard-to-find resources. Over 3,600 of the journals are unique to Global Health.

Global Health Archive, containing over 800,000 records from six printed abstract journals published between 1912 and 1983, provides a historical context for current international and public health problems, with information on public health, communicable diseases, nutrition, entomology, bioterrorism, food security and the effects of economic development on health.

The library is providing trial access to Precision Search.

With Precision Search, searching Medline® has never been easier or more powerful. It is the self-serve Medline search tool, designed to be the tool your users turn to first when looking for Medline articles. Three features distinguish Precision Search from all other Medline search tools:

• it delivers MeSH-specific results without the user needing to know how to conduct a MeSH-specific search;
• it shows search results faceted (or sorted) by specific topics. The Precision Search taxonomy features more than 3,000 topics in more than 120 specialties in healthcare; and
• it allows both anonymous and personalized searching.
