Two New Health Care Databases

Over the summer, McIntyre Library added two new health care databased: ClinicalKey and Red Book Online.  ClinicalKey is an upgrade from MD Consult, which Elsevier is retiring by the end of the year.

ClinicalKey is a point-of-care resource for health care professionals designed to provide clinicians with answers quickly. Includes a wide range of content types to satisfy clinical information needs: books (1,000+), journals (500+), videos (13,000+), practice guidelines (2,000+), images, patient education handouts, and drug monographs. Images can be exported directly to PowerPoint slides.


Red Book Online provides up-to-date, evidence-based information on the manifestations, etiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of more than 200 childhood infectious diseases. Topics include immunizations, school health, blood safety, sexually transmitted functions, drug therapy. Red Book Online provides breaking news about infectious diseases and immunizations, including vaccine shortages, disease outbreaks, and new policies relative to these areas. Its influenza resource page provides a wealth of helpful information for flu season. Red Book Online is developed by the AAP Committee on Infectious Diseases, and its content, including contributions from hundreds of experienced practitioners, is reviewed by the CDC and FDA. The online version contains the complete text of the print book, plus more than 2,500 images, vaccine status information, and infectious disease news.
