National Library of Medicine
World’s largest biomedical library, NLM produces electronic information resources on a wide range of topics. It also supports and conducts research, development, and training in biomedical informatics and health information technology. Three databases available to the public are the following
- MEDLINE
Oldest and still active citation database with links to full text, when available. MEDLINE can be accessed through Ebsco. The database is notable for the careful journal screening process and the use of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH®) to index citations. - PubMed
Builds out from MEDLINE to offer a broader range of coverage with far more records, including additional full text coverage. You may limit your PubMed search retrieval to MEDLINE citations only by restricting your search to the MeSH controlled vocabulary or by using the Journal Categories filter called MEDLINE. - PubMed Central (PMC)
Full-text archive for full-text biomedical and life sciences journal articles. It is a repository for journal literature deposited by participating publishers, as well as for author manuscripts that have been submitted in compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy and similar policies of other research funding agencies.
For a complete understanding of these three databases go to the MEDLINE, PubMed, and PMC (PubMed Central): How are they different? Fact Sheet.
