PubMed is a free resource supporting the search and retrieval of biomedical and life sciences literature with the aim of improving health–both globally and personally.
The PubMed database contains more than 35 million citations and abstracts of biomedical literature. It does not include full text journal articles; however, links to the full text are often present when available from other sources, such as the publisher's website or PubMed Central (PMC).
Available to the public online since 1996, PubMed was developed and is maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), at the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM), located at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Using the library provided link will provide access to articles within Davidson College subscriptions for Davidson College students/staff/faculty.
(c. 1900 to present) An interdisciplinary resource with over 20,000 scholarly journals, books, and proceedings in the sciences, social sciences, and arts and humanities, also navigate the full citation network.
Access is restricted to current faculty and staff and currently-enrolled students of Davidson College only.
Global Plants is the world’s largest database of digitized plant specimens and a locus for international scientific research and collaboration. A growing collection of nearly three million high-resolution type specimens and related materials from community contributors around the world. The largest of its kind, Global Plants consists of 66 sub-collections, showcasing hand-selected specimens that have been meticulously digitized. This resource also features reference works and primary sources, such as collectors’ correspondence and diaries, illustrations, and photographs.
Contains over 11,500 entries on drugs and pharmaceuticals, common organic chemicals, and laboratory reagents. Entries include chemical names, molecular formula, chemical structure, physical data, literature references, and more. The online version contains information not available in the print.
Within Oxford Reference, you may find results that range from short-entry, general reference to more in-depth articles on specialized subjects. Note: while we do not have access to all of the titles in the full collection, the default search covers the titles that Davidson owns.
