MEDLINE
MEDLINE: WSU users
can search
MEDLINE from 1966 to the present using either
CSA or
FirstSearch search software. The CSA or FirstSearch versions of
MEDLINE are searchable on or off-campus. The advantage of searching
using these
interfaces is their integration with the WSU Libraries Catalog so
that you can tell what journals we own. However, there are many other interfaces through which
to search the content of MEDLINE that you may also find useful as
each interface differs in its features (use of MeSH, medical
limiters, etc.).
For example,
the National Library of Medline's
PubMed
interface to MEDLINE
offers the complete MEDLINE database, from 1966 to the present
as well as incorporating additional content.
Note that this version does not have a link to the WSU Libraries
Catalog. Also note that if you find yourself confused by MEDLINE's journal title
abbreviations, take a look at
PubMed's Journal Database or the online version of the
List of Serials Indexed for Online Users.
In addition to the
above services, the following search tools have been created to
facilitate searching
the MEDLINE database. Each provides a slightly different way to
search and extract information from MEDLINE (many having been built
on top of PubMed).
MedlinePlus
MedlinePlus brings together consumer-friendly health information from numerous
trusted agencies. The site includes information about drugs, an illustrated medical encyclopedia, interactive patient tutorials, and the latest health news.
