With the introduction of the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) on CD-ROM, research was initiated to compare coverage of nursing journals by CINAHL and MEDLINE in this format, expanding on previous comparison of these databases in print and online. The study assessed search results for eight topics in 1989 and 1990 citations in both databases, each produced by SilverPlatter. Results were tallied and analyzed for number of records retrieved, unique and overlapping records, relevance, and appropriateness. An overall precision score was developed. The goal of the research was to develop quantifiable tools to help determine which database to purchase for an academic library serving an undergraduate nursing program.
随着《护理学与相关健康文献累积索引》(CINAHL)光盘版的推出,人们开展了一项研究,以比较CINAHL和MEDLINE以这种形式对护理学期刊的收录情况,该研究是在以往对这两个数据库的印刷版和网络版进行比较的基础上展开的。该研究评估了这两个均由SilverPlatter制作的数据库中1989年和1990年关于八个主题的检索结果。对检索到的记录数量、独特记录和重叠记录、相关性及适用性进行了统计和分析。制定了一个总体精确性评分。该研究的目标是开发可量化的工具,以帮助确定为服务本科护理专业项目的学术图书馆购买哪个数据库。
