New Ovid Database - Global Health

Hi all,

The newest database in our Ovid collection is called Global Health. Here's a brief blurb on it:

Coverage: 1973 to Present

Global Health brings together the resources of two internationally renowned databases - the Public Health and Tropical Medicine (PHTM) database, previously produced by the Bureau of Hygiene and Tropical Diseases (BHTD), and the human health and diseases information extracted from CAB ABSTRACTS. Over 16,000 serial sources from more than 130 countries are scanned regularly for inclusion in the Global Health database, to produce approximately 25,000 new entries per year.

I'm planning on creating a pdf handout on Global Health in the next week or so. Feel free to try it out and let me know if you have any feedback.

Lisa
