How to do Database Searches
Found a database but not sure how best to search it? This tutorial will show you strategies that will help you look for articles in an electronic database.
Find Articles—Recommended Databases
These databases are great resources if you're doing research in Molecular & Biomedical Sciences. You'll find journal articles that you can cite in your papers by searching your topic and related keywords. If you need an introduction to using a database contact your subject specialist, Lindsay Decker or check out the tutorials to the left.
If you haven't decided on a topic yet, try looking at the resources in the Background Information tab of this guide.
