A few notes :
- We do not recommend limiting to Full-Text within the CinahlFT Database because it will not consider the fulltext we offer through other Library sources.
- At present, Ascension Wisconsin subscribes to Cinahl-FT. The video mentions the Cinahl Ultimate, Cinahl-Complete and CinahlPlus Databases. The basic search techniques for each version are the same.
- The video mentions Evidence-based Care Sheets and Quick Lessons in the video. These are premium content included in other versions of CINAHL and are not available or limit-able options in CinahlFT. That said, Ascension associates may access this content through NRC Plus.
