Databases

Databases are used to find what article or book has information on your topic. The results include citation information and may contain or link to the full-text of the journal article. Often these specialized databases are proprietary, meaning you must pay for access. Searching PubMed is available "free" because it is produced by the National Library of Medicine. However, access to the full text of the article will depend on whether your institution has a subscription to the journal.

  • Journal articles are an excellent source for advances, research studies, and current practice standards. Use the bibliographic databases to help locate articles on specific topics.
