Top Databases

Use the databases below to search for articles via keyword, subject, or author. Links to the electronic version of the article are often available through the Find Text feature . If the article is only available in print, Find Text will give you the library's call number (location) for the journal. If the library doesn't own it, Find Text will link to and automatically fill-in an Interlibrary Loan form. What's Interlibrary Loan?

 

Biological Abstracts (1969+)
Peer-reviewed articles and conference papers within biology, including biochemistry, ecology, genetics, microbiology, ocean sciences, plant biology and zoology.

PubMed (UT Libraries Version)(1950+)
Peer-reviewed articles on biomedical topics, including medical research, genetics, bioinformatics, physiology, oncology, nursing and more. Use this customized UT version of PubMed to link directly to the library's holdings through Find Text. If you don't see the "Find Text" button in the Abstract display, you are not in the customized UT version.
