Combined Health Information
Database CHID is a database produced by health-related agencies of the United States Federal Government. This database provides titles, abstracts, and availability information for health information and health education resources. The value of this database is that it lists a wealth of health promotion and education materials and program descriptions that are not indexed elsewhere. New records are added quarterly and current listings are checked regularly to help ensure that all entries are up to date and still available from their original sources. Some older records are retained for archival purposes.

Elsevier Science General information from Elsevier Science. Also includes the Elsevier Science Tables of Contents service. "ESToC is a service which currently provides you with access to the tables of contents of more than 1,000 Elsevier Science primary and review journals, covering a very wide spectrum of scientific disciplines. Abstracts, although searchable, will not appear on screen. The tables of contents go back to the first journal issues published in January 1995 and are updated on a weekly basis. The tables of contents appear in ESToC approximately six weeks after despatch of the journal issues. This way, we try to ensure that ESToC updates coincide with the physical availability of the journal issues."
