New Multilingual Health Databases

Written on: June 30th, 2009 by: in News

Stay tuned for the next announcement about the full lineup of revisions and additions to the State of Delaware’s subscription electronic resources for libraries (aka databases), but as a teaser, we are very happy to announce the availability of the EBSCO health database Consumer Health Complete in three language interfaces. According to the creator, these databases:

“provide translated articles about common medical conditions and procedures in an easy-to-understand manner. In addition to keyword searching, this suite of databases offers an interactive body map that assists the user in locating full text articles about health-related topics for all areas of the body.
All of the evidence-based content included in Multilingual Health Databases is written by experienced medical writers and independently reviewed by medically-credentialed experts. The articles in MHD are reviewed and updated on a regular basis to reflect the most recent information and research available.”

Consumer Health Complete will be available in Chinese, Russian, and Spanish from July 1st. Not, of course, as a substitute for professional medical services.
Click on the links to see the resources in each of the languages (and English). You’ll need your Delaware Library Catalog library card if you aren’t in a Delaware public library:
