Start with these databases

MEDLINE is an important database for all areas in the health sciences. At Bond you can search MEDLINE via PubMed or Ovid. You should definitely search either PubMed or Ovid (you only need to search one or the other).

You might also find the other Library Research Guides helpful for suggesting databases in other fields of study. Your Faculty Librarian can also help you choose databases to search.

Full text access

Use the database links from the Library's guides to ensure you are authenticated as a Bond user, to access full-text content, where available. If you find an article online without the full text, type the title of the article in LibrarySearch (the box on the Library's homepage):

  • If the article is available, click the 'available online' link to access the full text.
  • If the article details appear but the full text of the article is not available, request the article from the 'get it for me' link. Bond Library will request the article from another library for you.
  • If you aren't able to request the article through LibrarySearch, place the request via the blank request form.

 

                            LibKey Nomad is a browser extension that checks the Library's subscriptions for full-text access to articles, as you browse the web. It works with websites such as Wikipedia, Google Scholar and PubMed.

This extension can save you time by bypassing the need to check Library Search for full-text articles.
