Databases

AWIC provides links to databases with information on biomedical research, biological science, animal science, veterinary medicine, fish and wildlife research, toxicology and specialized alternative methods.

Databases are listed according to broad subject area. Many of these databases are available free on the web, while others are fee based and available via vendor, such as OVID, EBSCO, CSA, DIMDI, Elsevier Science, ProQuest, and Thompson Reuters. Our recommendation is to find a vendor that provides you with one platform to search the most databases that are pertinent to your research, as well as the 3Rs of alternatives - Refinement, Reduction and Replacement.

If you have any questions, please contact your library or AWIC.
