Welcome to the Occupational Therapy Guide

This is the starting point for occupational therapy research. The menu below will help you find resources to meet your research needs.

All of the databases in these guides are available off-campus. See how to access databases off-campus at this link.

Database Quick Links

CINAHL Complete (EBSCO) This link opens in a new window
CINAHL Plus with Full Text is the world's most comprehensive source of full text for nursing & allied health journals, providing full text for more than 750 journals indexed in CINAHL. This authoritative file contains full text for many of the most used journals in the CINAHL index. Includes selected pamphlets and audiovisual materials.
OTseeker: Occupational Therapy Systematic Evaluation of Evidence This link opens in a new window
A database that contains abstracts of systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials relevant to occupational therapy. Trials have been critically appraised and rated to assist you to evaluate their validity and interpretability. These ratings will help you to judge the quality and usefulness of trials for informing clinical interventions.
NOTE: Due to lack of funding, OTseeker content from 2016 and beyond is not as comprehensive.
PubMed This link opens in a new window
Index to articles covering all aspects of medicine. Developed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Having trouble accessing the full text of an article? Read below.
Not all search results in PubMed will lead you to the full text of an article (PDF or html) or publication to which we subscribe or have access. After searching, click the red "Find It" button to the right on your search results screen to search for that article against our library's holdings.
