 Hi, I'm Debbie Orr, and I'm the Health Sciences Librarian at Ohio University. Today I'm going to show you how to do a search in Sinal. It's a basic search, and I hope that it will help you along your way. Okay, the first thing you want to do is to be on the Ohio University webpage. This is the main page, and you want to go to your databases tab. Click on databases, and because this is Sinal, we can find databases by name. So all you need to do is type in Sinal, C-I-N-C-I-N-A-H-L. It doesn't matter if it's capital letters or small letters, it gets you to the same place. Hit search, and then you'll come up to this page, and you want to click on Sinal Plus with full text. Okay, this is the search page that you want to use, and we are going to search for diabetes complications, and hit search. Okay, diabetes complications brings you 23,000 results. That's way too many results, and you want to weedle it down a little bit. You can see that our publication date goes all the way back to 1940, with the most current being 2012. You probably not need to get that much historical data, so what you want to do is change the date by clicking on the date, and you can change it. Let's go to, oh I don't know, 2006. Okay, that takes it down to 15,000 results. You can now determine what you want to do. There's a source type down here. You can change it to just all results, is what we have right now. Academic journals, magazines, books, pamphlets, or dissertations. For the majority of the time, you'll want to just use academic journals. Okay, that's still probably too much reading that you want to do, but just for the sake of time and demonstration, I will go over here and show you some other things. On the left-hand side, you can tell that it's an academic journal. The prevention of complications of diabetes oral therapies for TD2. At this side here, you can click on this and it would show you more information. This might also be where it would have an abstract. Let's try the number two here and see there's your abstract then. You can read your abstract. You can also click on the title to get your abstract as well. For minor subject headings, you can always use to hone in on your topic to be more specific. On the left-hand side here, you can find it in PDF full text. All you need to do is click on that and it will bring up the PDF for you. At this time, you can save it, you can print it, or you can just read it. That's entirely up to you. If for some reason it doesn't have a PDF full text attached to it, you will find one of these little find it keys. You might want to click on it to see if it is available. This article is available in the EJC, that's Ohio Links Electronic Journal Center. You can click on that and it will bring it up. It first brings up your abstract and then you can click on the PDF full text to get the full text. Again, you can print it, you can read it, or you can save it to your desktop. If you want to find out what kind of publications are within CINAHL, you can go to the publications page. It's an alphabetical list of all the journals that are available within CINAHL. Sometimes you need to know if it's a peer-reviewed journal or not, and you can also find that information out by going to the publication page. Okay, well I hope that this little tutorial helped you. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to give me a call or shoot me an email. Thank you.
