3.4 Finding e-books in the HINARI website
Similarly to articles, books also can be found by using the Books collection A-Z list. Click on any letter of the alphabet to check the list of books that begin with that letter. For each title, there is a hypertext link to the full-text.
Exercise 4
➢ From the HINARI Contents page, click on the O listing of the Books collection A-Z list.
➢ Find the link to the Oxford Textbook of Medicine, 5th edition and open this E-book. You will have to scroll down the alphabetical list to locate this title.
Note: For some countries and institutions, the publisher has chosen to exclude access to this title. If you cannot open the contents of the book after completing this step, go to next to last tab of this exercise.
➢ Scroll down the initial page and locate the Contents listing. Open the Nutrition chapter link. (You do not need an access token or sign up for an individual subscription as access is provided through HINARI). Look at the 6 sub-chapters and click on the link to a chapter that is of interest to you. Note: if you are interested in another topic, you may open that chapter’s link.
➢ The Essentials will be displayed. Click on the Full-text option and display all the text in this sub-chapter. Note that each chapter has a Further Reading option at the bottom of the page. What are the topics listed in this sub-chapter? Is the full-text information a webpage (html) or PDF files?
➢ Return to the Table of Contents and open another chapter. Which chapter have you opened and what are the topics of interest to you?
➢ How could this electronic textbook be used in your institution? Would the sister publication Oxford Handbook of Tropical Medicine be useful?
➢ Return to HINARI’s Contents page.
4. Finding articles
Articles can be found by opening the Contents section and the Search inside HINARI full-text using PubMed hyperlink on the HINARI Contents page. Search inside HINARI full-text using PubMed is covered extensively in modules 4.1-4.6.
5. Finding other full-text resources from the HINARI website
If you go to the Reference sources section on the on the HINARI Contents page, you will see a number of resources such as dictionaries and encyclopaedias. To select a resource click on the hyperlinked title and you will be taken to the resource website.
Exercise 5
Accessing material from the Reference Sources list.
➢ From the HINARI Contents page, open the Reference sources list.
➢ Select Cochrane Library by clicking on the hyperlink. This is a resource for evidence based medicine.
➢ The website for the resource opens. In this case it is a subject portal open to all HINARI registered institutions.
➢ Would this resource be of use to you or your colleagues? Why?
➢ Go back to the Reference sources list. What other resources could be of use to you or those in your institution?
6. Free collections
Go to the Free collections section on the HINARI contents page. There is a list of sites offering access to various free biomedical collections which are free to all Internet users and do not require HINARI registration. Clicking on the hyperlinked title will take you to the publisher website. Another, more extensive listing of ‘free collections’ is at Essential Health Links ( ). We will access one of these resources – HighWire Press.
The HighWire website is somewhat different. It is a portal to over 1,300 journals published predominantly by learned societies. Not all the journals participate in the HINARI project. Some of the HighWire Press health-related journals are Annalsl of Internal Medicine, Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences and the Journal of Bacteriology.
What also is unique is that access to the HighWire Press portal is based on the computers’ IP addresses. Via this IP address, the organization knows if your country is eligible for HINARI and, if affirmative, allows access to all the full-text material from any computer within the specific country – see the Highwire Free Access to Developing Economies page). While this portal is included in the Free Collections drop down’ menu as Highwire Free to Developing Economies, you also would have access by going to the HighWire Press gateway at http:// highwire.stanford.edu/lists/devecon.dtl
In a similar fashion to the publisher participants’ websites, you will view an A-Z journal list, a means to search the database and also set up alerts. The HighWire Press gateway also allows users to search across journals within the collection.
Exercise 6
Locating a listing of the journals ‘Free to Developing Economies’ in HighWire Press
➢ From the initial HINARI Contents page, go to the Free Collections drop down menu and click on Highwire Free to Developing Economies or type in or copy/paste into the address box, click on “GO” or hit the Return key.
➢ You will be redirected to the Free Access to Developing Economies list. The Highwire Press website has opened a list of journals that you will be able to use for free as it is based on the IP address of the computer and HINARI countries are eligible for access.
➢ What HighWire Press journals would be of interest to you and why?
➢ Which of the following HighWire Press journals are accessible to HINARI participants? Note: From the HINARI Contents page, check the Journal Contents – View Complete List of Journals listing
➢ American Journal of Epidemiology
➢ Journal of Biological Chemistry
➢ Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association
➢ Molecular Pathology
➢ Science ((American Association for the Advancement of Science)
➢ Return to the HINARI Contents page.
Note: even if you access HighWire Press after signing onto HINARI or go directly to the website from a computer with an acceptable IP Address, you will not have access to all the HighWire Press journals. Each specific society decides if the journal(s) will be available to developing-economies countries.
