Databases are used to find journal articles. Some databases (such as CINAHL) are subject-specific; others (such as Scopus) cover a number of subjects. Databases are usually searched using keywords e.g. diabetes, heart disease, caesarian section. Single words or short phrases work best as keywords.
These are the most useful subject databases for Nursing and Midwifery. You will need your Single Sign On username and password (the same as for MyDMU and email) to access them within and outside the university.
