Though lacking in some significant social work journal sources, the database for social sciences does provide some useful alternative sources for SWK majors. It appears to be very user friendly. With lack of other data bases more inclusive of social work needs, this one would be appropriate for adoption. Prof. R. Kiel

I did a quick search of several different topics over the past few weeks, and zeroed in on some very significant papers that are sorted by year inversely, so newest papers show up first. This is a very efficient quick way to get to the literature. Please do subscribe to the Health & Life Sciences database. Thanks, S. Vincent, Ph.D., Biology

I love this database and was able to find several articles that did not show up in EBSCO. My only complaint is that the search capability is not as sophisticated as EBSCO's. But, I say, buy it!

The health sciences database was easier to navigate than EBSCO & has journals with full text that aren't available in our other databases. L. Doerner, MSN, RN, Nursing
