EMBASE.com--The Power of EMBASE and MEDLINE Combined

HSLS is pleased to introduce EMBASE.com to University of Pittsburgh and UPMC library users. EMBASE.com combines EMBASE, the Excerpta Medica databases renowned for its extensive coverage of drug-related literature, with MEDLINE, the National Library of Medicine’s biomedical database. The new combination features simultaneous searching of EMBASE (1974-present) and MEDLINE (1966-present) to provide biomedical and pharmacological information drawn from 5000 journal titles published in 70 countries.

EMBASE.com is available through the HSLS Web site at <www.hsls.pitt.edu/resources/databases/titles>.

Searching EMBASE.com offers benefits including:

  • A current awareness feature to generate tables of contents from more than 4,000 journals.
  • Links to full text
  • Drug Search options for sophisticated drug-related queries, including searching by drug name, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) registry number, trade name, manufacturer, etc.
  • Disease Search which focuses on very specific aspects of disease-related research, such as congenital disorder, therapy, surgery, etiology, prevention, etc.
  • Ability to restrict your search within a particular EMTREE category. EMTREE is a sophisticated hierarchical subject thesaurus arranged from very broad to very specific biomedical concepts.
  • De-duplicated search results (duplicate citations are automatically removed from the results).
