Mulford Health Science Library : MEDLINE/PubMed

The Mulford Library provides access to different versions of MEDLINE (PubMed, EBSCOhost, MD Consult). The interface differs among these versions, as does the quality and precision of the search (see comparison sheet).

PubMed@UT(1949-present)

PubMed is the free version of MEDLINE made available by National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the National Library of Medicine (NLM). Searchers on the University of Toledo Health Science Campus or those who are registered with the Mulford Library should search PubMed@UT; it tells PubMed to show information about locally-available online journals. To include locally-available online journals for the PubMed search via the Entrez cross-database search page use this URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gquery/gquery.fcgi?holding=ohiolinklib,mcolib_fft,f1000&otool=ohiolink

OhioLINK MEDLINE

*Notice*

As of December 31, 2008, the OhioLINK version of MEDLINE will no longer be available. MEDLINE will remain available to the OhioLINK community in two versions -- EBSCOhost MEDLINE and PubMed -- through the OhioLINK list of databases. Users will have access to locally-available full text resources through OhioLINK by entering PubMed and EBSCOhost MEDLINE through the Mulford Library web pages (see Mulford Quick Links menu). Also look for the FindIt button  within PubMed citations to check the availability of online and print resources. 

  EBSCOhost MEDLINE

1966-present [off-campus access]

EBSCOhost MEDLINE also provides links to the full-text articles that are available at the Mulford Library. Access is restricted to faculty, residents, staff, and students who are registered with Mulford, Carlson, or any other OhioLINK library.
