You can access our subscribed online databases separately if you wish. These include: AMED, CINAHL, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, MEDLINE, SPORTDiscus, Trip Pro, and eBooks platforms (EBSCOhost and ProQuest). There is also our Evidence and Knowledge Search.
Subscribed databases
CSP's eLibrary, Knowledge and Archive Services offers several subscribed databases
Using the databases separately lets you make use of the database specific functionality. 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 National Library of Medicine controlled vocabulary thesaurus used for indexing articles for PubMed.

Trip 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 one of 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 provide members access to search across other content types including images, audio, videos, patient information leaflets, educational courses and news.
