Resources and help guides available to SVHM staff and students
The following diagram shows the type of content, and a rough idea of the overlap, of key databases. It demonstrates the need for multiple databases to be included in a comprehensive literature search, but it does not attempt to be exact or exhaustive. Databases change constantly and there are 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.
