4. Databases

Medline, through PubMed, is the biggest biomedical database and a good place to start your search.  Have a go at searching PubMed using the PubMed activity.

The Cochrane Library is a great resource for Evidence Based Medicine.  Cochrane reviews are high quality, pre-appraised systematic reviews and they're freely available full text.

Scopus and Web of Science have a broader scope than PubMed.  They are good databases to search if you want to find more material or material that's not specifically medical.  Work in pairs, one try the Web of Science activity and the other the Scopus activity. 

Here are our guides to the useful databases for future reference:
