Comments and questions<br />
1. The Clinical Key has proved to be a very useful resource for<br />
both health workers and health information professionals.<br />
2. The eLibrary lets students download material for only 7<br />
days. After that the material is taken away due to copyright<br />
issues. However, the same resource can be accessed by<br />
multiple users at the same time.<br />
3. Most of the Medline articles seem to have only abstracts<br />
are there full articles as well? Yes, there are full articles if<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 />
Physicians and eLibrary? Clinical Key Nursing is for those<br />
in Nursing. Clinical Key Physicians targets mostly those<br />
doing their postgraduate studies or already holders of that<br />
qualification. While the eLibrary combines the two plus<br />
material from back issues of medical books. An institution<br />
can choose which resource to subscribe to without having to<br />
subscribe to all three.<br />
5. Are there materials in French? There are clinical solutions<br />
targeting the various languages, however books are<br />
