Abstract
Health sciences librarians are frequently asked to provide customer access to credible complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) information. This article reviews and compares the strengths and weaknesses of seven major CAM databases—AltHealth Watch, AMED, Complementary Medicine Subset on PubMed, HerbMed, MANTIS, Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database, and Natural Standard. Factors such as the amount, quality (evidence-based and/or peer reviewed), uniqueness, currency, and timeliness of information provided in each database as well as unique features, accessibility, and ease-of-use are discussed.
