Database Digest - Global Health

If you need to access global health information, and want a resource that includes records from 125 countries (65% of the world's 194 countries) in over 50 languages from a database with a global view of public health research, then the "definitive international public health database"-Global Health-is for you!

Topically, Global Health covers diseases pertinent to the global health workforce, and includes a range of topics from communicable diseases to tropical diseases to parasitic diseases and parasitology. In addition to information on diseases, the database covers a variety of topics from human nutrition and medical entomology to medicinal and poisonous plants. Similarly, the range of materials is diverse and runs the gamut from journal articles to books and 'grey literature'. The database, produced by CABI Publishing, has unique content not found in other databases. In fact, CABI estimates 40% of their content is unique and provides deep subject coverage of information related to human health and communicable diseases published since 1972.

Available to users through the library's E-Databases, Global Health can be searched using the familiar OVID interface, and provides subject-specific bibliographic information from English and foreign language journals, books, research reports, patents and standards, dissertations, conference proceedings, annual reports, developing country information, and other difficult-to-obtain materials.
