PubMed is one of the best resources for biomedical research. Scopus and Web of Science are broader citation indexes and can help you when researching many scholarly topics.
These databases include the full-text of articles for journals to which the Library subscribes. If you find a citation in PubMed or a citation index, you may be led to one of these databases to access the article.
Search by keyword or your program to find the right database for your research.
Example: "biomedical engineering"
Note: This search bar will provide you with a list of Library subscription databases by keyword so you can start researching in the right place; this does not search within the databases.
