You may search for these in various locations, e.g., the Internet, an intranet at work, print publications, etc. You may NOT choose the databases that are already familiar to you –MEDLINE, PUBMED (which also indexes MEDLINE), GOOGLE SCHOLAR, and CINAHL. Instead, you are expected to expand your knowledge of evidence-based sources. Places to help you begin include your textbook, which lists databases and websites that report research. The Chamberlain online library (http://library.chamberlain.edu) givesyou access to several databases and provide tutorials for searching. Government sites such as those at the National Institutes of Health offer collections of research on a variety of subjects. The key to choosing the databasesis that each contains research-based evidence that also pertains to your topic of interest. Review each database or collection to gather information to create a description for the assignment. Each description must: identify the title of the research database; describethe location of the research database in a way that a reader could find it. This could be a URL or an APA citation; name owner or publisher of the source; describe the research database. This must be in your own words and not copied and pasted from the original source. Include the purpose of the database and the subject matter it covers. This may be four or five sentences; and explain how the research found in the database relates to your topic of interest. This may be an additional paragraph, perhaps two or three sentences. Nursing research literature Submit to the Research Database basket in the Dropbox by 11:59 p.m. MT Sunday at the end of Week 4.
