- Get full text links to our article linker to find electronic full text. If we don't have online full text, we might have the journal in print or microform. To find out, take citation information or DOI and go to the Electronic Journals link. Enter the Journal title or the DOI into the appropriate search box and proceed.
- If exporting citations to EndNote Web (see below) use tagged format .txt .
PubMed: Medicine
- Indexes anything to do with medicine.
- Not scanned in a Summon search.
- Export search results to EndNote Web (see below) by using the MEDLINE display format.
- Many ways to limit searches (age group, gender, language, type of study), but there is no structure, patent, or CAS number searching.
- Related documents are determined by number of repetitions of search words.
- Offers some free content, but does NOT work with the Drew article linker. To find out if Drew has access to a journal, enter the PMID in the appropriate box on the Electronic Journals page.
- Search help: (these are meant to be two sided trifolds, so you will have to figure out how to read the information in the correct order.)

Biological Abstracts: Biology
- See the Quick Reference Card with instructions and screen shots specific to Biological Abstracts from Thomson Reuters.
- Topic searching searches title, abstract. To limit further, try limiting to title.
- Within searches you can limit within topic (determined by journal title), author, subject area, concept code, super taxa.
- Indexed by subject area, concept code, super taxa; examine these features to determine whether they can augment your search capability.
