Select databases and search tools

Depending on what subject or problem statement you are interested in, different databases might be relevant for you in order to cover your information needs. Each database has different scope and subject coverage. Our most common databases within medicine and nursing, PubMed and CINAHL, as well as our multidiciplinary search engine LUBsearch can be found on our Library website: Databases and search tools

Searching in multiple databases enables you to cover more material than limiting your search to just one. Through our database list you can access our databases outside the campus by logging in with your student account. Not sure where to start searching? Why not try out PubMed, since it covers a majority of medical subject areas?

Additional videos on how to find research articles and search in our databases can be found on the Search terms and Search Strategies pages.

Select subject database

If you're searching for a topic, it's a good idea to use a subject database to give you a little more focus and make use of the features of the database. Depending on the topic and the question you have, different databases can give you good results. If you are outside the university network, you usually need to log in with a student account to access most of our databases.
