PubMed

1950s-current. A major source for scholarly biomedical literature.

Access PubMed from a library page or via the 'go' link [go/pubmed (on campus) or http://go.middlebury.edu/pubmed (off-campus)]. This will prompt PubMed to link its results to Middlebury collections and our interlibrary loan form.
To search for a phrase, enter it without quotation marks so that PubMed's Automatic Term Mapping (ATM) feature will be activated.
PubMed automatically places the AND operator between your search terms. When you want to be sure the correct Boolean operator (AND, OR, NOT) is used, enter it in uppercase.
Truncation turns off ATM and the automatic addition of MeSH terms. For example, heart attack* will not prompt a search for the MeSH term Myocardial Infarction.
