CINAHL has Unique Search Tools!!!

CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature) includes many publication types other than journal articles. Each of these publication types can be used as a Limit to make a search topic more specific to your needs. These Limits are not on the main search screen. Here are a few examples and where to find them:

Using the full menu of Limits

Perform your subject search, then click the Limit icon (target) at the top of Ovid's main screen. Now mark the line you want to limit. The system will default to limiting the last line of results. Then select the Limits you want from the various categories. Below are just a few of the categories and an example or two from that category:

Age Groups

  • newborn infants (birth - one month)
  • aged, 80 and over

Publication Types

  • journal articles
  • book chapters
  • diagnostic images {not necessarily online}
  • tables & charts
  • consumer patient teaching materials

Special Interest Category

  • home health care
  • advanced nursing practice

You can choose a limit from more than one category. You can also choose more than one limit from within a category by holding the control key while you mouse click on the ones you want.

Advice: choose only a few limits from different categories at one time since the computer will AND them with your topic and results may decrease rapidly (sometimes to zero!). It's easier to add another limit than take one away.

Note to nursing students: There is not currently a way to limit to articles with a nurse as an author. End of Article
