CINAHL stands for Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature. It is a searchable online guide to articles, books, and other materials that have been published in nursing and in other health fields. • Disciplines covered: Nursing, Allied Health (Nutrition, Physical Therapy, etc.) • Includes citations (publication info) and abstracts (summaries) of material published 1982-present. EBSCO is a search interface (software). It is a system that allows you to search different databases (online guides to literature) like CINAHL, (a guide to education literature), and more. So using CINAHL via EBSCO means using the EBSCO software to search CINAHL, a guide to Nursing and Allied Health literature. Why do we want you to know this? Because it is easy to wander into a completely different EBSCO database and wonder why you are no longer finding any article descriptions about nursing.
