Upgrades to MasterFILE and MEDLINE

Thanks to CUNY funding, all CUNY libraries have an upgraded subscription to MEDLINE and MasterFILE from EBSCOhost. We now have access to MasterFILE Complete and MEDLINE Complete, both of which offer more full-text content. On our databases pages, you’ll see that the listing for MasterFILE Premier now says MasterFILE Complete. The listing for MEDLINE remains the same as MEDLINE (EBSCOhost), which is worded that way to distinguish it from other places where students might encounter MEDLINE access: within Web of Science and via PubMed.

MEDLINE (PubMed) Listing on Databases Page to Be Dropped

For many years, we’ve maintained a list on our databases page for the free version of MEDLINE (on the PubMed platform) and the version we get from EBSCOhost. Later this month, we will drop the listing for “MEDLINE (PubMed)” and go with just the “MEDLINE (EBSCOhost)” listing, as the latter one is the only one offering full text and SFX functionality.
