PubMed

PubMed is a free resource provided by the National Library of Medicine that supports the search and retrieval of biomedical and life sciences literature with the aim of improving health. PubMed comprises more than 35 million citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals and online books.

Log in

The PubMed database is a free online resource, so it does not require a login. However, we recommend using the links to the database from the library homepage or using the link below rather than going directly to PubMed as these will provide links to materials in the Chamberlain Library from the PubMed results.

  1. Once you have your results, you can use the filters to the left of the results to help narrow your results. As highlighted in the image below, popular filters include:
  • Results by Year (use the date range slider)
  • Full text
  • Article Type (select one or multiple)

  1. Select the link for the article to open the detailed record.
  2. Under Full Text Links in the upper-right corner of the record, you may see links to the full text of the article provided by the publisher, the Chamberlain Library or both.

If it is available, always select the link for Chamberlain Library first as you may hit a paywall through the publisher link.
