How to use Medline via OVID
What is Medline?

The examples in this tutorial use Medline, a biomedical database.

Medline provides summaries of articles from over 3,900 journals which collectively cover all areas of biomedicine. The database extends back to 1966 and is updated weekly. Full text articles (including images or graphics) are included for over 60 of the journals, from 1995 (15 of them from 1993). Records and articles can be viewed online and downloaded.

Most of the journals covered are U.S. publications, but European, Asian and a small number of Australian journals are included. For access to articles and news specifically about Australian biomedicine you should also use the Australian health databases (e.g. AMI, ATSI, DRUG) which are available via Informit.
