CINAHL (1982-)The Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health database provides authoritative coverage of the literature related to nursing and allied health. Virtually all English-language publications are indexed along with the publications of the American Nurses Association and the National League for Nursing. Primary journals are indexed from the allied health fields and selected journals are also indexed in the areas of consumer health, biomedicine, and health sciences librarianship. In total,more than 500 journals are regularly indexed; online abstracts are available for more than 150 of these titles.
