Manual RefHunter for literature search in specialized databases from the subject area of health now released in updated version 2.0!
RefHunter, created by scientific staff of the Institute for Health and Nursing Science at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and the Institute for Applied Nursing Science at the University of Applied Sciences St. Gallen, helps you to find your way around the peculiarities of various specialized databases from the field of health science and to develop database-compatible search strategies.
The core of the manual consists of so-called database information sheets on the specialist databases or search engines covered, including resources that are freely accessible or licensed from our library, such as ...
- BASE (Bielefeld Academic Search Engine)
- CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature)
- The Cochrane Library
- GeroLit (Gerontological Literature)

Basic and special functions are presented in a tabular overview and explanations and examples are given.
By addressing the specifics of the databases covered, RefHunter goes some way to filling the gap left by detailed, but general, guides to literature searching.
