The Library is excited to announce the latest addition to its nearly 400 subscribed databases – Embase Classic! In addition to the Library’s current Embase subscription, which covers 1974 to present, Embase Classic enables biomedical researchers to review critical research from 1947 – 1973. The backfile includes over 3,000 journals published in print prior to the creation of online-only and indexes more than 1.8 million records.

Researchers need historical literature via Embase Classic in order to:

• Discover new uses for older drugs that may no longer appear in current literature.
•  Research critical historical data for pharmacovigilance.
• Follow clinical trial research protocols by identifying adverse drug effects from this time period.
• Identify approved uses for older drugs, as well as off-label uses and efficacy claims of the past.
• Keep constantly informed of previously identified toxic substances that no longer appear in current literature but remain dangerous.

Search the two Embase databases concurrently by using the Popular Links list on the Library’s homepage, the Databases A to Z list, or the Ovid Database Guide. To learn more about how to search Embase and other databases, register for a class; sign up for an individual training session; or use the Ask Us form.

Due to the ACC’s digital infrastructure improvements, all users visiting acc.org as of May 20, 2024 (and beyond) will need to change their password using the “Recover Password” function on the website.

Congratulations on your approaching graduation from UT Southwestern Medical Center! As you start a new chapter in your professional career, most of you will have access to health sciences libraries and librarians. However, if you do not, then the Library has developed the Post-Graduation Library Toolkit with helpful links to libraries and resources. Popular resources include:
