Feedback:
CINAHL is the Cumulative Index for Nursing and Allied Health Literature and provides references for nursing and allied health journals, books, book chapters, and dissertations. The MEDLINE® database, developed by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, is the premier source for bibliographic coverage of the biomedical literature. MEDLINE® uses a controlled vocabulary called MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) to index articles. MeSH terminology provides a consistent way to retrieve information that may use different terminology for the same concepts. Google is a general Internet search engine that would not be useful for accessing nursing and allied health literature.
