    NurseSearch, a user-friendly nursing literature search tool, was introduced at Kent State University. New users found the program accessible for retrieving information from the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL).

    Area of Science:

    • Library and Information Science
    • Health Sciences Information Management

    Background:

    • The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) is a comprehensive database for nursing and allied health literature.
    • Access to specialized databases can be challenging for end-users without prior search experience.
    • NurseSearch was developed as an abridged, user-friendly version of CINAHL.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the implementation of the NurseSearch program at Kent State University's Libraries and School of Nursing.
    • To evaluate user reactions to the NurseSearch software.
    • To report on the findings from a trial period of NurseSearch.

    Main Methods:

    • NurseSearch, a menu-driven software package on floppy disk, was introduced.
    • The program provided access to an abridged version of CINAHL, covering approximately sixty journals.

  • User feedback was collected on selected program operations during a trial period.

    • Main Results:

    • NurseSearch was successfully introduced into the library system.
    • New users, including those with no prior search experience, were able to operate the program.
    • Initial reactions to specific program functions were documented.

    Conclusions:

    • NurseSearch offers a viable, accessible tool for end-users to conduct literature searches in nursing and allied health.
    • The program's design facilitates independent searching, potentially increasing information retrieval efficiency for students and clinicians.
    • Further evaluation is recommended to assess the long-term impact and utility of NurseSearch.
