Core Databases for Health Sciences

PubMed This link opens in a new window
Largest biomedical database. Covers all aspects of medicine.
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. If you do not see a red "Find It" button, add the following to the end of the URL you are viewing:
/?otool=iusomlib
If that does not work, contact tech support.
CINAHL Complete (EBSCO) This link opens in a new window
Nursing and allied health database. Good complement to PubMed.
