Finding and retrieving articles
Select your database. PubMed is your best starting point. If you are off campus, you may be asked to login with your NetID and password.
A few tips for searching for articles:
- Use search terms which are not too broad or too narrow.
- In most databases, you can use the term AND to narrow a search and use the term OR to include related terms, broadening the search. For example:
Mediterranean diet AND heart attack
Macrobiotic diet OR vegan diet
