    Protein     Sequence - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=Protein
    Is a compilation from a variety of sources, including SwissProt, PIR, PRF, PDB, and translations from annotated coding regions in GenBank and RefSeq.

    Genome -     http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=Genome
    Provides whole genomes of over 800 organisms that can be found in Entrez Genomes, representing both completely sequenced organisms and those for which sequencing is in progress. All three main domains of life - bacteria, archaea, and eukaryota - are represented, as well as many viruses and organelles.

    Taxonomy -     http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=Taxonomy
    Contains the names of all organisms that are represented in the genetic databases with at least one nucleotide or protein sequence.

    NLM's Toxnet
    TOXLINE - http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?TOXLINE

    HSDB -     http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?HSDB
    Focuses on the toxicology of potentially hazardous chemicals, with information on human exposure, industrial hygiene, emergency handling procedures, environmental fate, regulatory requirements, and related areas. HSDB is peer-reviewed by the Scientific Review Panel (SRP) with all data referenced and derived from a core set of books, government documents, technical reports and selected primary journal literature.

    Toxic Release Inventory - http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?TRI
    Contains information on the annual estimated releases of toxic chemicals to the environment and is based upon data collected by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). TRI's data covers air, water, land, and underground injection releases, as well as transfers to waste sites, and waste treatment methods and efficiency, as reported by industrial facilities around the United States.

    ChemIDplus - http://chem.sis.nlm.nih.gov/chemidplus/
    Provides structure searching and direct links to many biomedical resources at NLM and on the Internet for chemicals of interest. The database contains over 350,000 chemical records, of which over 80,000 include chemical structures, and is searchable by Name, Synonym, CAS Registry Number, Molecular Formula, Classification Code, Locator Code, and Structure.


OVID Databases (UMC ON CAMPUS ONLY - via Library Home Page):
CINAHL - http://www.library.umc.edu/

The Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health (CINAHL) database provides coverage of the literature related to nursing and allied health. Most of the English-language publications are indexed along with the publications of the American Nurses Association and the National League for Nursing. Selected journals are also indexed in the areas of consumer health, biomedicine, and health sciences librarianship.
HAPI - http://www.library.umc.edu/

Provides ready access to information on measurement instruments (i.e., questionnaires, interview schedules, checklists, index measures, coding schemes/ manuals, rating scales, projective techniques, vignettes/scenarios, tests) in the health fields, psychosocial sciences, organizational behavior, and library and information science.

PsycLit - http://www.library.umc.edu/
Covers the professional and academic literature in psychology and related disciplines including medicine, psychiatry, nursing, sociology, education, pharmacology, physiology, linguistics, and other areas. Coverage is worldwide, and includes references and abstracts to over 1300 in more than 30 languages, and to book chapters and books in the English language.
