PubMed
Search PubMed for journal articles in the biomedical Sciences.

PubMed is a database created by the National Library of Medicine to facilitate searching the biomedical literature.

PubMed also contains PMC, which contains publicly accessible literature that have not necessarily gone through the same review process.

PubMed MeSH Tutorial
Use this tutorial to learn about advanced search features in PubMed. While the examples use clinical questions, MeSH can also be used for many biomedical science concepts, including organism names and classification.
Mice - MeSH
For animal research, see the MeSH record for Mice as an example. While this is for the while species, there are many more specific terms for common research strains.
Escherichia coli - MeSH
For bacteria MeSH terms, see the E. coli example. Scroll down to find links to specific pathogenic strains.
Influenza A virus - MeSH
For virus MeSH terms, see the flu virus example. Scroll down the page to see which subtypes are included.

Beyond PubMed

Web of Science

Getting Full Text

Use the resources below to find a specific journal or article in the Libraries' online journal subscriptions. If you have a PubMed ID (PMID) or DOI for the article, search the Article Lookup tool first. If we do not have online access to the article, use the "Borrow this item through Interlibrary Loan (ILLiad)" button to request a copy.

Article Lookup
Search the Libraries' subscriptions for access to a particular article. Using the DOI to search will ensure that you find the correct article quickly.

ILLiad
When Drexel does not have online access to an article, use the InterLibrary Loan system to request a copy. You can login for the first time and set up your account using this link. However, submitting requests through the buttons in the Article Lookup tool is easier than filling out the full request form.
