Database Video Tutorials

"Introduction to EBSCOhost - Tutorial" (4:08) by EBSCO Tutorials

This tutorial provides an overview of the features of the EBSCOhost interface, including:

  • searching EBSCOhost
  • using the Result List
  • previewing Articles
  • using Search History

Academic Search Complete, CINAHL, GreenFILE, Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition, Science Full Text Select, OmniFile Full Text Select, MEDLINE, and OmniFile Full Text Select are all databases provided by EBSCOhost. While there are a few differences, the interfaces are nearly identical, so once you learn how to use one EBSCOhost database, you'll know how to use almost all of them by this brand.

Consumer Health Complete by EBSCOhost has a very different interface than the other EBSCOhost-provided databases.

See the top five tips for students to get the most value out of using the resources available in AccessScience.

Merced College Library Tutorials

Blue tree with the words Merced College Library written underneathThe Merced College Library has three database tutorials featuring EBSCOhost databases. Keep in mind, though they contain different content, these databases look and operate in nearly the same way, so if you take all three tutorials, it will seem repetitive.

You can take any of these tutorials as often as you'd like, and you can also download PDF certificates of completion with your name, score, and timestamp.
