Embase is a biomedical and pharmacological database with over 25 million citations.

Besides strong coverage in pharmacology and toxicology (including economic evaluations), Embase covers biochemistry, biomedical engineering & medical devices, clinical medicine, genetics, healthcare policy & management, infectious diseases, microbiology, molecular biology, and occupational and environmental health. Over 7,600 journals from over 90 countries are indexed, as well as conference abstracts from over 2,000 conferences.

Use Embase?s indexing system, Emtree, to build strong and precise searches, particularly on disease and drug/substance topics. In addition, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry Numbers are generated for all drug/substance terms in each citation.

Coverage:

• 1974 - current: Embase records
• 1940s - current: MEDLINE records
• 2009 - current: Conference abstracts

Use Embase off-campus via proxy server or VPN. Use UC-eLinks to get full text of articles.

The Moffitt Library and Gardner (Main) Stacks will remain open continuously for a 24-hour study hall beginning at 8 a.m. on Monday, December 3 and ending at 7 p.m. on Friday, December 14. The Moffitt Microcomputer Lab and the Free Speech Movement Café will also be open round the clock for that period.

The science and engineering libraries will maintain their normal hours during finals. For current schedules of all libraries on campus, see our Library Hours.

Springer online content moved to a new platform this past Monday. Currently, all UC campuses are experiencing access issues with some books and journals on the new platform. Springer is aware of the problem, and we hope it will be resolved soon.

In the meantime, if you are directed to content on the new platform (at http://link.springer.com) and are unable to access it, try accessing it on the old platform instead. Click on the Access old SpringerLink link on the new platform, then search for the journal, article, or book on the old one.

If you have questions about access on the old or new platforms, please feel free to ask us.
