The Health Sciences Library has recently begun a trial of the Northern Light Life Sciences Conference Abstracts database.

Northern Light’s collection provides a treasure trove of life sciences research information, often several years before that information is published in industry or academic journals. Search the full-text index of:

• More than 1,200,000 abstracts and posters
• From 1,600 life sciences industry conferences (2010-present)

Early data in grey literature such as this is critical to researchers conducting systematic reviews.

Try Northern Light today and email the Health Sciences Library hslibrary@smh.ca to tell us what you think! Trial period ends Saturday, July 26th.
