Subscribed databases
The CSP Library subscribed databases are:
Using the databases separately lets you make use of the database specific functionality that does not readily work in Discovery. Many databases feature a subject specific terms (a thesaurus) that relate to content on those databases. The thesaurus allows you to browse for subject terms you can use to search the database and it will find papers where the author has different terms for the same topic. E.g. MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) is the NLM controlled vocabulary thesaurus used for indexing articles for PubMed
Access subscribed databases vocabularies (subject headings) used to index each database.
Trip Medical Database PRO
The name of Trip comes from ‘Turning Research Into Practice'. It is a clinical search engine designed to allow users to quickly and easily find and use high-quality research evidence to support their practice and/or care. It has been online since 1997 and in that time has developed into the internet’s premier source of evidence-based content.
Our motto is ‘Find evidence fast’ and this is something we aim to deliver for every single search. As well as research evidence we also allow clinicians to search across other content types including images, videos, patient information leaflets, educational courses and news.
