Where do I find articles? In 1959, Librarian Herman H. Henkle's print journal collection, might have been your source! But in 2009, you have more options.
There are still a few print journals left on the shelves at Montgomery Hospital's Library, but most of your articles will come from three sources:
1. Medline is the largest database of article information. The National Library of Medicine(NLM) funded by the U.S. government, employs a large staff of librarians to summarize medical articles, and assign subject headings/tags to each one. The data is freely accessible, and many companies repackage it with different interfaces.
PubMed Medline: This interface is produced by the NLM, and is available from any computer for free. If you want free full text though, only 10% of the articles have a link to the full text online from the publisher. To restrict to full text articles, click the limits button, and choose the "links to free full text" option.
2. Interlibrary Loan NOTE due to closure of the library interlibrary loan is not available.
3. Google: Sometimes, if you are fortunate, a publisher will post an article in free full text to the web, perhaps because of the public health implications, or just because they feel like it.
