EBSCO changed the search interface for all of its databases, including CINAHL, in July, 2008. Not to worry, however. This new one is easier to use and has more functionality. Call the library (415-206-3114) or use the "Ask a Librarian" button on the database screen if you are having trouble with your search, if you'd like to attend a class, or if you'd like some individual coaching to learn to use the resource more efficiently.
Here's a link to an animated tutorial on the new search features. Or you may want to start with a basic help sheet. Here's a PowerPoint presentation that covers CINAHLplus other nursing resources. Presented by Joy Graham on 11/4/2008
