Online Tutorials for Searching Medline

The following links are to two interactive tutorials that teach searching techniques for working with the Medline database.

The first one, from Duke University, shows how to search Medline through Ovid:

The second link leads to a tutorial on searching Medline through PubMed, the National Library of Medicine’s search engine for this database:

When you actually begin searching Medline with either Ovid or PubMed, use the links to the databases from the King/Drew Health Sciences Library website, http://kdhsl.cdrewu.edu/.

Also, remember that from off-campus you will have to set up your computer with the library’s proxy server settings. An instruction sheet is available to borrowers who come to the library with their university or county badge.
