1) Global Economic Monitor (GEM) Database
- Subject Specialties; Daily & monthly financial information such as interest rates, equity markets, consumer production and global economic development in high income countries as well as countries that face poverty.
- Format of Information; Numerical spreadsheets, PDF files, news articles & website links.
- Controlled Vocabulary; Statistics, Cross-Cultural Studies
- Unique Feature; The goal of the database was to help expand people’s knowledge about countries in poverty that need help. The search bar was very simple and did not have a common format like the advanced search option in other databases.
2) MEDLINE (EBSCOhost) Database
- Subject Specialties; Information medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, the health care system.
- Format of Information; Academic Journals
- Controlled Vocabulary; Health Aspects, Case Studies, Cross-Cultural Studies
- Unique Feature; I noticed while scrolling through the list of databases that MEDLINE has two websites. One is on EBSCOhost and the other is on PubMed. The difference between the two is that PubMed does not provide the student with links to the full-text databases. In the description box, there is a suggestion to use EBSCOhost in order to access these links.
