IPSWICH, Mass. — May 7, 2007 — DynaMed™ users understand the value of accessing information at the point-of-care and EBSCO Publishing is expanding access to medical content by linking to full-text articles in EBSCOhost^®databases.  EBSCO’s proprietary SmartLinks™ technology enables users to link from references in DynaMed to the corresponding full-text articles located in other databases under subscription from EBSCO, such as MEDLINE^® with Full Text, CINAHL^® with Full Text, Cochrane databases, Biomedical Reference Collection™, Academic Search™ Complete and Business Source^® Complete.
