NEW health science sources! Natural Standard, ProQuest databases

We've just gotten two years of access to new health science content through the NC LIVE library consortium. It's so exciting, must take a moment for Steve Martin to help with this announcement...



Natural Standard
  • Summaries of effectiveness and safety of dietary supplements, herbs, and integrative medicine
  • Browse by condition (osteoarthritis) or by substance (chondroitin) or therapy (reflexology)
  • Includes a Sports Medicine Database - lots of ergogenic aids and some very substantial overviews such as "Sports Performance."
  • Includes interaction checker and nutrient depletion checker!
ProQuest Central
Searches many PQ databases. Big collection of academic and professional journals, including health care management, pharmaceutical news, nursing education, and more.
When you search ProQuest, you'll automatically be searching the health sources along with all other content. To explore the different databases, use the link at the top of PQ that says Searching: 2 databases

Like other subscription databases, you'll need your UNCG computer account information for off-campus access.
