Finding Articles in Databases

Doing medical research? Then you probably need to look for articles in one of the library’s databases. The library provides access to a wide variety of databases, covering medicine and biological sciences, nursing and allied health, consumer health, and general information. If you need to know more about searching a database, please visit our Database How-To Guide or our Instruction page.

Due to our licensing agreements, use of many of our databases is restricted to members of the KU community and fee-paying library members. Users who are not eligible to use our databases may request a literature search from a reference librarian.
