I was asked two particular questions that I don't have ready answers for. I wonder if anyone here can comment.
1) A student who is doing a systematic review for a course on conducting research has asked if when one is doing a search in PubMed if the search is looking through ALL the databases listed on the Electronic Databases & Directories:Alphabetical List? That is, does Pubmed source from all of the databases listed there when you do a basic MESH term search (e.g., thyroid AND diet)?
2) The student also wants to know if there is a comprehensive list somewhere online of EVERY database out there (not just PubMed or those our library offers). Does such a list exist?
Thank you for any comments!
