摘要
MEDLINE(PubMed)和EMBASE数据库是世界上公认的最重要和最常用的数据库,但EMBASE数据库在我国高校的使用率远远低于MEDLINE数据库,主要有三方面的原因,①获取文献方面MEDLINE比EMBASE更加容易;②对EMBASE的宣传与培训远远低于MEDLINE;③文检课中很少涉及EMBASE。如要改变EMBASE数据库在我国高校利用率低下的现状,唯一途径就是不断地宣传和培训,尤其要注意对高校图书馆员的培训,另外还可以通过循证医学对最佳证据的研究,提高EM-BASE使用率。
MEDLINE （PubMed） and EMBASE are the most important biomedical databases. But the usage of EMBASE is quite lower than that of MEDLINE in our country＇s universities. There are three causes： ①obtaining foreign documents from MEDLINE is easier than that from EMBASE.② Propaganda and training in EMBASE is less than that in MEDLINE. ③EMBASE is seldom taught in the Document Retrieval Course. Continuously propaganda and training is the only way to enhance the usage of EMBASE, especial in enhancing the librarian training and the research of best evidence in evidence-based medicine.
