There are 2 ways to search for articles on a topic using library resources:-
1. On the library homepage, Library Search enables you to do a very quick and basic search for articles on a topic. Library Search will provide results from print and electronic resources available to you via the Library at Queen's. The video below shows how to find full-text articles on a topic from journals accessible via Queen's.
2. For more detailed and systematic searching always use databases. Databases index records of academic literature including articles, book chapters, conference proceedings and more. Databases can help you search more broadly on your topic, as they include records of literature that may not be available through Library Search. A list of databases relevant to pharmacy are outlined below.
If you experience any problems when trying to access the electronic resources there is a troubleshooting guide. Alternatively, please don't hesitate to contact your subject librarian.
Databases are subject based search engines that enable you to search across a large number of journals simultaneously. Before using databases, remember to break your search/topic down into two or three key concepts.
