Begin a basic search by using the basic search box at
the top right of the screen. Here you
can do a keyword or subject search or look for a particular word or phrase in
the entire document. The basic search
also provides a few options for limiting your results (the check boxes
below). If you need more in-depth
searching powers click into the Advanced Search screen.
Search results will be tabbed out by format. You
can print, email, or download items you determine are relevant as well as
simply read them from your computer screen.
You can also browse the topics of the database. Begin a browse by clicking into an area that interests you. The areas are tabbed out across the top of the screen. Browsable areas include Diseases & Conditions, Alternative Medicine, Trusted Sites, and Health Assessment. (The other tabs take you to search screens specific to that topic). If we choose Alternative Medicine, for example, we will land on the A page of available options with links for jumping to the letter where we would like to begin our browsing.
