PubMed
Through PubMed, it is possible to access MEDLINE's 11,000,000 biomedical journal citations to research biomedical questions. Clicking the "Related articles" link for each abstract can expand your search. A PubMed tutorial is available for searchers new to the database. Following are some sample searches conducted in PubMed on alcohol-related topics. These searches may be copied and pasted into the PubMed search bar.
They can also be placed into the user's cubby for future updating. If none of these searches fits the user's needs, a custom search can be run by going to the PubMed site and entering the appropriate MeSH terms. MeSH is the National Library of Medicine's controlled vocabulary used for indexing articles for PubMed; it provides a consistent way to retrieve information.
