Dear all (apologies for cross-posting)
MIDIRS (The Midwives' Information and Resource Service) is about to launch an
institutional version of the MIDIRS Database for health and academic libraries.
MIDIRS is an educational charity which has supplied an information service to
midwives and other maternity health professionals since 1985.
The database contains over 100,000 references to articles, book chapters,
reports, and other publications relating to the midwifery profession, pregnancy,
childbirth, and early infant care. A team of professionally qualified librarians
scan over 550 international English language journals and enter reference
details of relevant items onto the database (including keywords and our own
abstracts where author abstracts are unavailable). Items on particularly
popular or recurrent topics are assigned to one or more of our 400+ "standard
searches" enabling users to locate relevant material on these topics very
quickly and easily.
Until now, access to the MIDIRS database has only been available to personal
subscribers. The institutional version of the database allows customers and
librarians to order photocopies of full text articles for their customers online
(subject to UK copyright law) using our Xpress ordering facility. Librarians
can also take advantage of our email alerting service which can keep them up to
date on new material as it appears on the database.
The institutional access package also includes a subscription to MIDIRS'
hard-copy quarterly publication the MIDIRS Midwifery Digest, which combines
reprinted articles on pregnancy and childbirth topics published in other sources
with original articles and abstracts written by expert practitioners.
For further information about this institutional package to the MIDIRS Database
and Digest, or to organisation a free trial of the Database, please contact me
by return of email or telephone +44 (0) 117 907 7588. Further details about
MIDIRS and its services may be found on our website www.midirs.org.
