World's largest medical database, with records to articles back to the 1940s and beyond. Good coverage of both human and animal medicine, physiology and related fields. Scopus has almost all of PubMed's content as well as other relevant content not in PubMed.

• Accessing PubMed through this link will allow you to view "Find It" links, which help you find the full text.
• Using the "Free Full Text" filter on the left will exclude many articles that are available through the MSU Libraries' journal subscriptions.
• Using the other filters (except for Year and Language) will exclude results that do not have Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). This may exclude from 10% to 30% of results, depending on your topic.
• The National Library of Medicine offers numerous PubMed tutorials.

Indexes the websites of commercial publishers, governments, universities, and other organizations. It can be very useful when trying to find a PDF of a specific article.
