You can perform simultaneous searches in a number (or all) of the Ebsco databases VIA provides access to. This might be relevant if:

• your topic is too narrow and literature on the topic is limited
• if your topic is interdisciplinary and you wish to find sources from various fields
• if you wish to examine which Ebsco databases contain the largest amount of articles about your topic

This last point is possible under “Refine Search”/”Database” when you have performed a search.

A database thesaurus is a list of controlled subject headings. You cannot apply the thesauri across the Ebsco databases as these belong to/concern the individual Ebsco databases.

Refrain from applying “Limit to” when searching across the databases (with the exception of year and language) as the individual databases do not index the posts the same way nor are they equally detailed. For example, some databases do not register ”peer reviewed” or “geography” and applying these limitations would therefore needlessly exclude many results.

Embase is considered an important supplement to PubMed/Medline although there is considerable overlap between the two databases.

Embase includes more than 28 million articles from more than 8,400 journals and includes more references to European and third world literature than PubMed in general. PubMed indexes 1,877 European journals, but Embase indexes 2,450 and it moreover includes far more literature on pharmacology.

By National Library of Medicine, USA.

MEDLINE includes authoritative medical information within medicine, nursing, nutrition, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, biomedicine, healthcare systems, preclinical sciences and much more.

MEDLINE uses MeSH indexing to retrieve articles in more than 5600 biomedical journals. MEDLINE can also be searched through PubMed.

The difference between searching MEDLINE through PubMed or MEDLINE through EBSCO is whether your search words are automatically transformed into MeSH terms. This is the case in PubMed but not in MEDLINE through EBSCO. Moreover, searching MEDLINE through PubMed automatically explodes MeSH terms; this is not the case when searching MEDLINE through EBSCO where you have to choose the underlying concepts yourself.

There are more searchable references in the free PubMed interface compared with MEDLINE, e.g. articles ahead of print.
