The Library is highlighting two useful databases for clients who will be leaving UT Southwestern and will no longer have access to the university’s full-text articles. Please be aware that these resources have a much narrower full-text range than what might be provided by medical libraries.

PubMed is a searchable citation database with more than 21 million biomedical literature items from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. Abstract, author, article title, journal title, and other identifying information make up the search results. Access to full-text articles is through links but varies by publisher. See the PubMed Quickstart Guide for more information.

PMC (formerly PubMed Central) is PubMed’s companion database: a free, full-text archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature at the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s National Library of Medicine (NIH/NLM). Literature items are deposited by participating publishers, as well by authors whose manuscripts have been submitted in compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy and similar policies of other research funding agencies. See the User’s Guide or Journal List for more information.

For training at no charge before you leave, choose MEDLINE searching via PubMed from the individualized training page.
