MEDLINE via OvidSP

Connect to OvidSP

Produced by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM), the MEDLINE database (this version 1951-) is widely recognized as the premier source for bibliographic and abstract coverage of biomedical literature. MEDLINE encompasses information from Index medicus, Index to dental literature, and International nursing, as well as other sources of coverage in the areas of allied health, biological and physical sciences, humanities and information science as they relate to medicine and health care, communication disorders, population biology, and reproductive biology. More than 8.7 million records from more than 3,600 journals are indexed, plus selected monographs of congresses and symposia (1976-1981). Abstracts are included for about 67% of the records.
