Electronic Bibliographic Search Tools
BioMed Search.Com. This is an easy to use site that searches all of NIH/PubMed documents, plus a large collection of theses, dissertations, and other publications not found anywhere else. Articles are organized by "clusters", which essentially are topics. Clusters have sub clusters that further differentiate a topic. Searches are easy, use plain English. There is a nursing and nursing education section. If you wish, you can open a free account that allow you to save searches and documents into portfolios, make notes on your portfolios, set up alerts to be notified of new documents of interest, batch export data to excel and share your portfolios with other users and more.
