A-to-Z:A-to-Z is an Ebsco product which assists HSL in bringing together all the many resources available to CCHS, either through the Univeristy of Alabama Library system, UAB's Lister Hill Library or our own subscribed resources. Some of these resources include the ScienceDirect journal packages, Blackwell Synergy journals, Up-to-Date, MD- and First- Consult as well as JAMA, New England Journal of Medicine and the Archive journals.
Cochrane Collection Plus: The Cochrane Collection Plus is designed to supply evidence-based information to people providing and receiving care, and those responsible for research, teaching, funding and administration at all levels. The Cochrane Library contains: Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, The Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effectiveness (DARE) and Cochrane Controlled Trials Register. This resource can be accessed from the UA network or remotely using your CWID.
Electronic Databases : The University of Alabama subscribes to many commercial databases that include health-related and biomedical resources. These resources can be accessed from the campus-wide network or remotely using your CWID.
DynaMed : an Ebsco Publishing product,is a clinical reference tool created by physicians for physicians and other health care professionals for use primarily at the 'point-of-care'. With clinically-organized summaries for nearly 3,000 topics, DynaMed is the only evidence-based reference shown to answer most clinical questions during practice. Based on the results of a study published in Annals of Family Medicine (November/December 2005), not only did primary care clinicians answer more clinical questions with access to DynaMed than without DynaMed, but these clinicians also found more answers in DynaMed that changed clinical decisions.

Electronic Journals: Many of the biomedical and health science journals are available with full text.
Exam Master: This resource is restricted to the medical students, faculty, and staff of CCHS. EXAM MASTER Online is a way to study for the USMLE, clerkship mini-boards, board certification exams, and to review medical subjects.

Altogether we have access to 16,000 questions and explanations.
