Spotlight: PubMed

Are you looking for articles in the field of medicine?  The PubMed database contains over 22 million article records, many of which are available in full-text.  Developed in 1996 by the National Library of Medicine, PubMed is one of the oldest and best-known medical databases.  It can be used to find systemic reviews, clinical studies, and even consumer health information.  The UI&U Library has configured PubMed to “link out” to many of our subscription databases, so you can easily find the full-text of an article.  Look for a “link out” option in the top-right corner of the page that says “PDF” or “full-text.”  If a link out option isn’t available, try a Google Scholar@UI&U search (video tutorial) or place an interlibrary loan request for the article.  Below are several PubMed tutorials to get you started:
