This free resource comprises citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. PubMed citations and abstracts include the fields of biomedicine and health, covering portions of the life sciences, behavioral sciences, chemical sciences, and bioengineering. This resource is developed and maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM).
Google Scholar This link opens in a new window
This resource provides access to scholarly literature including articles, theses, books, abstracts, court opinions, technical reports, patents and many other document types. Google Scholar's coverage is extremely broad and sometimes more up-to-date than other databases - but its non-selective coverage may include lower-quality publications.

This link to Google Scholar will enable UVM affiliates to easily link through to materials to which we have access.

SSRN (Social Science Research Network)
SSRN is an open-access repository for preprints of research articles in the social sciences. (Preprints are often not peer-reviewed.) SSRN has limited search features, though it does have a Restorative Justice section.

Where's the full text?

You may encounter paywalls when searching for research literature. When you find an item that you would like to view, but there is no full text:

1. Look for a Find It@UVM button. This will search the library's collections for a full-text version.

If the library does not have a full-text version, it will guide you through the steps for requesting an interlibrary loan (ILL), a free service for getting a copy from a different library.

2. Don't see a Find It@UVM button? Contact Graham (MS Teams chat or graham.sherriff@uvm.edu).
