 Whether you're looking for a few high-quality research articles on a specific topic, or you're conducting a comprehensive literature review, the Welch Library website is where you'll want to go. Through this website, you can access a wide range of bibliographic databases. In this video, you'll learn about a few of the key databases that are available to you as part of the Hopkins community. You'll also learn how to access databases that are not listed on the library's homepage, and how to find guides that will point you to additional subject-specific databases. Even if you're not located physically on the Johns Hopkins campus, you can access the library's databases remotely by logging in with your JED ID. To do this, click on the login link located at the top right-hand side of the Welch Library homepage. Let's take a few minutes to look at some of the databases that are linked on the library's homepage. On the left-hand side of the website, in the box labeled Literature Databases, you'll see some of the more popular biomedical databases. You're probably already familiar with PubMed, which is at the top of the list. This database is published by the National Library of Medicine and is one of the largest biomedical databases with over 30 million citations. It offers coverage back to the early 1800s. While you can freely access PubMed from the Internet, you'll want to open this database through the library website so that you're connected with full text of articles from journals that Hopkins subscribes to. Next on the list is CINNL+. This is the expanded version of the cumulative index to nursing and allied health. As the name implies, it provides access to nursing and allied health literature and resources with coverage dating back from 1937. The Cochran Library is a collection of databases that contain different types of high-quality independent evidence, which includes all Cochran produce reviews and protocols, and the Cochran Central Register of Controlled Trials, which contains reports of randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials. M-Base, a European database, covers the same subjects as PubMed with an additional focus on drugs and pharmacology as well as medical devices. It contains over 32 million citations from over 8,500 currently published journals from 1947 to the present. CICINFO is produced by the American Psychological Association. It covers research on psychology, social sciences, and related fields across multiple disciplines. Coverage dates back to the early 1800s. The last two databases that are popular for searching for biomedical literature are Web of Science and Scopus. Both extend beyond the health sciences to cover life, physical, and social sciences. They're highly valuable tools for seeing who has cited a particular journal article or which articles on a particular topic have been cited. Web of Science is listed in the Literature Databases box, but to access Scopus, you'll need to go to the top right-hand side of the homepage and click on the Access Scopus Directly link. There may be a database that you want to access that's not listed in the Literature Databases box. For example, perhaps you want to be able to access the CITEST database. In this case, you'll click on the Database tab located on the top of the homepage. From here, you can scroll through the list of biomedical databases or you can type in the name of a specific database. Once the correct name appears, click on the title and you'll be taken to an information page regarding the database. Click on the name of the database one more time to open it. As a Hopkins student, faculty, or staff member, you also have access to databases from other Hopkins libraries. For example, the Sheridan Library provides access to a wide range of databases on topics such as economics, education, social sciences, and anthropology. You can access these databases by again clicking on the Databases tab. This time, scroll through the list of all JHU databases by title. To find a particular database by name, type it in the search box until it appears. But what if you're researching a topic and you don't know the best database to use? In this case, contact your informationist or consult one of our subject guides for recommendations. You can do both by clicking on the Find Your Informationist link. Here, you can search for your informationist by name or department. You can also access a guide on your topic. For example, clicking on the Global Health Resources Guide will open a guide full of recommended databases and resources. For those who are researching interdisciplinary topics, the Sheridan Library can be found by typing www.library.jhu.edu into your browser. It also has a collection of subject guides that will point to additional databases on a specific topic. From the Sheridan Library website, click on Research Guides on the left-hand side of the screen to access them. If you need information on a topic related to business of medicine, for example, start by typing business in the search box and the guide Healthcare Business Introduction will appear in the list and can be selected. In summary, the Welch Medical Library connects you to a wide range of bibliographic databases. Access them from the Literature Databases box, the Databases tab, or through the Informationist guides.
