Did you know that there’s a journal citation database dedicated to Global Health? It’s called, appropriately enough, “Global Health”. Content covers communicable diseases; tropical diseases; parasitology; human nutrition; community and public health (including chronic diseases, occupational health, health status indicators, the impact of agriculture on health, and cancer epidemiology); and medicinal and poisonous plants.
The database is produced by CABI, an international not-for-profit scientific organization, and is available to Queen’s Library users on the familiar Ovid platform. This year users frequently experienced “turnaways” for this database so we increased the number of available seats from one to two concurrent users. Search Global Health now.
