3. Most of the Medline articles seem to have only abstracts<br />

the library/institution has full subscription to Elsevier, ergo<br />

both Medline and PubMed.<br />

4. Why are there three platforms with the exact same<br />

material that is Clinical Key Nursing, Clinical Key<br />

5. Are there materials in French? There are clinical solutions<br />

targeting the various languages, however books are<br />
