Database update: no more Clinical Pharmacology

Clinical Pharmacology has been removed from our databases. The content it contained is now included in the Health Source databases (both Consumer Edition and Nursing Academic Edition). I would recommend referring patrons looking for drug information to the Nursing Academic Edition as it contains more entries.

To add to the confusion, this collection of drug information within the Health Source databases has also changed names. It is now known as "Lexi-PALS." This information can be accessed in either database's interface by clicking:

"Publications" (at the top, in the green nav bar)
Browse to "L" or search for "Lexi-PALS", and click on it

To search within this publication, you can then use the "Advanced Search" tab.

If you have any questions about this, please feel free to ask me. The database page on the website has also been udpated to reflect this change.
