October Cool

October brings cooler temperatures, colorful leaves, and the second issue of Impact, the newsletter of the Health Sciences Libraries. This month we highlight Embase, a rich database of biomedical and pharmacological information available to researchers, clinicians, faculty, and students alike. Also, we mark the retirement of Associate University Librarian Judy Cohn.

Embase: New Database Enhances Research and Discovery

Embase is here!

Embase is a global biomedical and pharmacological research database. It assists students, faculty, researchers, and practitioners in conducting systematic reviews, researching pharmacology, monitoring drug safety, assessing medical device compliance, and more. Embase combines the complete indexing of MEDLINE with indexing for over 2,900 additional journals. In total, Embase includes indexing for articles in over 8,000 currently published journals from over 90 countries. It also includes abstracts from over 11,000 conferences.

Embase’s indexing uses the Emtree thesaurus, a controlled vocabulary for biomedicine and the related life sciences. Emtree includes all of MeSH as well as many more terms and natural language synonyms.
