PubMed is a free online database containing over 37 million citations for published articles in all areas of medicine, biomedicine and health, including nursing, dentistry and veterinary medicine. 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).

MEDLINE is the largest component of PubMed and consists primarily of citations from journals selected for MEDLINE; articles indexed with MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) and curated with funding, genetic, chemical and other metadata. Clarkson College Library subscribes to MEDLINE Ultimate and it available via our EBSCO databases (search individually or via SuperSearch)
