The Circumpolar Health Bibliographic Database (CHBD) is now available
online. A project of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)
Team in Circumpolar Chronic Disease Prevention, the database contains
more than 3,100 records describing publications about all aspects of
human health in the circumpolar region. All types of publications, both
peer-reviewed and grey literature, are included.
CHBD records contain citations, abstracts, subject and geographic
indexing terms, library codes, and links to the full text of
publications that are available online. The CHBD project also provides
server space to make publications available online, or to provide an
additional location for works that are already available online from
their publishers.
CHBD is a new database and is currently far from comprehensive. It was
created from records in the Arctic Institute of North America's ASTIS
database, which covers primarily northern Canada. It will take several
years to improve the CHBD's coverage of the non-Canadian parts of the
circumpolar region.
