Databases contain references to journal articles, chapters in books and in some cases, theses and dissertations. Some databases also include the full text of the articles and other items.
Much academic information is not freely available on Google so the Library subscribes to a range of databases to make academic information available. Many databases are subject specific. See the list below appropriate to Medicine. On the Library's website under the tab 'Electronic resources' is an alphabetical list of databases by title as well as a subejct list.
