 Using filters in CINNL. CINNL is a nursing and allied health database. So in addition to general filters common to most databases, it uses filters that are specific to nursing and allied health resources. In this video, I'll show you how to access the filters in CINNL, and where to locate some noteworthy filters in a list. In order to access a lot of specialized health sciences filters in CINNL, you actually need to select your filters before performing your search. Start by clicking on Advanced Search under the search box to display all of the filter options. As you can see, there are quite a few options for filters, including some of the more general ones, such as the full text filter and the publication date. There are also quite a few health sciences specific filters. I encourage you to take a look at the full list to see what there is available. I'll show you a few of those specific filters now. So let's scroll down a bit and start with first author is a nurse here on the right. Use this filter to search for articles written by nurses. If using this filter returns too few results, try switching to any author is a nurse right below. This filter will search for articles where a nurse was part of the research team but not necessarily the first author in the study. Another useful filter is evidence-based practice. Use this filter to limit your search to evidence-based practice research articles, including sources like meta-analyses, systematic reviews, articles about EPP and commentaries on research studies. You can also filter for a specific publication type or types. Use this filter to limit your search results to particular types of materials such as systematic reviews, randomized control trials, and commentary. If you want to search for more than one type of publication, hold down the control or command key and then select multiple types. When I do my search, in this case, I'll search for privacy and choose the subject heading privacy and confidentiality. Now my filters appear along the left-hand side of the page. I can click the little X beside a filter to remove it from my search. In the list of results, I can see how many results I'm getting. In this case, I'm not getting very many, so I might want to remove one of my filters. I hope this video helps you use search filters in CINNL. Thanks for watching.
