PubMed

Since July 1997 the National Library of Medicine based in the United States has provided free Internet access to Medline. Many sites now offer Medline access. The Library recommends the official Pubmed site.

Medline (MEDlars onLINE) is a bibliographic database covering the fields of medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, the health care system, and the preclinical sciences. Medline is a massive database of bibliographic citations (e.g., authors, title, and journal reference) and author abstracts from over 3,800 biomedical journals. Medline contains over 9 million records dating back to 1966 and has world-wide coverage, although the majority of citations are in English.

The bibliographic details can be printed off the screen. Ask the Library if you require the full text of the articles.
