PubMed difficulties, use Ebsco alternatives



PubMed is running slowly and giving error messages.  Apparently a derecho storm hit the National Library of Medicine data center.

I don't expect anyone to call about PubMed problems but just in case, here are some alternatives:
  • The health care article quick search - Ebsco widget that searches through Medline (the biggest part of PubMed), CINAHL, Health Source, PsycInfo, and PsycArticles. Linked on welcome page for nursing libguide and other libguides.
  • Medline from Ebscohost, if you really want to stick as close as possible to PubMed content and subject headings. Linked in the databases list.
No estimate on when PubMed will be back up to speed. 

Thanks,
Lea
