The video tutorials below are the most recent from CINHAHL's vendor, but there may be small discrepancies between the video content and the current version of the database.   

Though it is recommended in some videos, we suggest that you do not use the full text limiter since it is likely materials not available in full text from this database will be available through another library resource. 

Ebling librarians are always happy to assist with finding materials or answer questions these tutorials may not cover, contact options are on Ebling's 'Get Help' page.
