The Kraemer Family Library provides access to a variety of databases. These are some of the best tools you can use to find scholarly, peer-reviewed articles.
Here are a few databases that should be helpful for health science topics:
Created by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, the MEDLINE database is widely recognized as the premier source for bibliographic and abstract coverage of biomedical literature including medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, the health care system, pre-clinical sciences, and more. It indexes over 4,800 current biomedical journals and is the major component of PubMed.
Searches a mixture of peer reviewed journals and popular publications, such as magazines, in the areas of sport, recreation, sports medicine, coaching, physical fitness, history and sociology of sport, and training.
Scopus is an abstracts database covering the following fields: chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, engineering, life and health sciences, social sciences, psychology, economics, and environmental sciences.
Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other web sites.
