PubMed is a bibliographical database containing more than 25 million citations from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. UMMS faculty, students and staff can access the full-text of many of the research articles retrieved in their searching of PubMed through the subscriptions of the Lamar Soutter Library.
The staff of the National Library of Medicine have produced many animated tutorials to help you better understand and use PubMed, such as this webinar entitled "PubMed for Scientists". In this webinar you will learn to more efficiently search by author; explore a subject; use filters to narrow your search; find the full text article; and set up an e-mail alert for new research on your topic.
