     MEDLINE
MEDLINE is the National Library of Medicine's database of references to more than 11 million articles published in 4300 biomedical journals. When you search MEDLINE:
  • You will find information about articles on your topic (the author, title of the article, name of the journal, date published, page numbers)
  • Many of the listings also have short summaries of the article (abstracts)
  • Sometimes you will find a link to the full article
Please note that most of the articles you will find listed in MEDLINE are written for health professionals. Articles are for educational use only and are not intended to replace advice from a health professional.
