Change in Resource Name: Proquest congressional

Effec­tive March 26, the Lexis/Nexis Con­gres­sional Col­lec­tion has been rebranded. When you login to the prod­uct, it will now say “Pro­Quest Con­gres­sional” and not “Lex­is­Nexis”. Since the prod­uct has not yet moved over to the Pro­Quest plat­form, all durable URLs will still say LexisNexis.

Please note that at this time you will no longer be able to link to Lex­is­Nexis Aca­d­e­mic from this prod­uct. As a result of the rebrand­ing, the link to Lex­is­Nexis Aca­d­e­mic has been removed.

If you are main­tain­ing links to Lexis Nexis Con­gres­sional, please update the name on your LibGuide or other web pages. The access url remains the same as:

New Resource: Natural Standard: the authority on integrative medicine

http://www.naturalstandard.com/

Pro­vides evidence-based infor­ma­tion about com­ple­men­tary and alter­na­tive ther­a­pies. It con­tains var­i­ous data­bases: Foods, herbs & sup­ple­ments; Heal­tyh & well­ness; Com­par­a­tive effec­tive­ness; Med­ical con­di­tions; Genomics & pro­teomics; Envi­ron­ment & global health; Brand names. For each ther­apy cov­ered by Nat­ural Stan­dard, a research team gath­ers sci­en­tific data and expert opin­ions. Val­i­dated rat­ing scales are used to eval­u­ate the qual­ity of avail­able evi­dence. Infor­ma­tion is incor­po­rated into com­pre­hen­sive mono­graphs which are designed to facil­i­tate clin­i­cal deci­sion mak­ing. All mono­graphs undergo blinded edi­to­r­ial and peer review prior to inclu­sion in Nat­ural Stan­dard databases.
