A list of databases, apps and other research resources available to SVHM staff and students
This diagram shows the type of content, and a rough overlap, of key bibliographic databases used for literature searching. Multiple databases need to be included in a comprehensive literature search, and this is not exact or exhaustive. Databases change constantly and have many layers of duplication.
Clinicians Health Channel - provided by the Health Department, Victoria. Includes MIMs, Australian Medicines Handbook, and Therapeutic Guidelines as well as bibliographic databases and journal collections.
UpToDate - Clinical point of care tool. Access provided by SVHM IT Department.
