It is the first day of June and what does that mean? Pay day! Well maybe for some us, but that also means Ovid's resources of the month are CINAHL and Midwifery & Infant Care.

CINAHL (Cumlative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature)
"The CINAHL database is the authoritative source of information for the professional literature of nursing, allied health, biomedicine, and healthcare. For nearly forty years the Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature print index has indexed English language and selected foreign language journals covering nursing and other specialised health care areas."

Krafty's favorite thing about CINAHL, it indexes book chapters, dissertations, and research instruments. Those little booger items that sometimes are kind of hard to find in other disciplines are indexed in this nursing and allied health database.

Midwifery & Infant Care
"Midwifery and Infant Care is an important essential resource for academics and healthcare professionals involved in the care of women and infants. This unique database contains over 120,000 references with abstracts to journal articles from over 550 international English language journals, books, and grey literature relating to the midwifery profession, pregnancy, labor, birth, postnatal care, and neonatal care and the first year of an infant's life. Database coverage is from the mid-1980s and approximately 1000 records are added to the database per month. The database also includes correspondence and commentary written in response to an article. Many of the records are assigned to one or more of 475 standard searches on key topics in order to provide fast retrieval, using either a code or a browsable index of topics. In addition there is an online thesaurus, keyword indexing and classification terms.
