MEDICAL LITERATURE

http://www.sciencekomm.at/journals/medicine/patholog.html

Connects to Journals some of which require a subscription but not all of them. You will need to investigate.

Journal of the American Medical Association

LIBRARY DATABASES

When you are researching start at the library. They have a great assortment of journals on a variety of subjects. In addition, they have a great database. However, sometimes you can only preview abstracts. You need the whole article for your current event. Remember just because an article is on the database does not make it relevant to your subject.

This is an excellent source of information. You need a password to enter the databases. The password is your KCTCS log-on and password

bulletGo to FIND ARTICLES (top line)
bulletPick a DATA BASE.  A data base is not a journal.  It is a search engine. So saying something is from ProQuest is like saying it is from GOOGLE or YAHOO.
bulletClick on the name of the database.
bulletProquest
bulletEbsco
bulletGale (Infotac).
