PubMed is a free-access searchable interface for the MEDLINE database, which provides access to citations from the biomedical literature dating back to the 1950s. There are currently over 16 million records in the database. MEDLINE collects from an array of over 5,000 journals published in the United States and internationally. Common uses of PubMed include investigating for therapies and prognosis and searching for clinical trial information.
PubMed adds materials Tuesday-Saturday and constantly refines
its searching mechanism.
Features:
- Built-in thesaurus, MeSH, of available searching keywords, general concepts or specific terms
- Journal Browser database that allows cross-searching for journal names, title abbreviations, or ISSN numbers
- Single Citation Matcher that can be used to verify citations with missing information (especially title) or for pulling up all articles in a particular journal issue (but not in table of contents order)
- Clinical Queries page to aid in Medical Genetics searching and retrieving Evidence-based filtered systematic reviews, meta-analysis and randomized controlled trials
- My NCBI feature to save and store search strategies
FYI:
Look for the button, 
when
using the WMC Library‘s
customized PubMed
- GET IT will appear when viewing search results as citation or abstract formats.
- GET IT will either connect you to the online article or connect you to the Library’s catalog, Tri-Cat, to see if we have a paper copy. If neither is available, it will allow you to submit an online interlibrary loan request for an article at no charge.
