Databases useful for Medicine via MetaLib (list with brief details)
This link takes you to the list of databases and other information resources useful for Medicine, with brief details displayed against each. Click on the Info icon to display the full details. Alternatively,  Medical databases via MetaLib (cross-search list) lists the same databases, but with a cross-search option. Note that  better results are always obtained when using the native interface, rather than cross-searching. For details of a particular resource click on the Info icon next to the resource name.

Guides to searching databases
A number of guides to searching individual databases and to literature searching in general, produced by the Medical Librarians, together with some externally produced, are available here.  The Medical Librarian team are also able to give help and advice about searching databases.
