First time you do this, you may be asked to confirm connection to the University. Once confirmed, your UoB email address should then display at the top of the screen.
Once logged in, carry out a search on PubMed as normal.
Please note that PubMed offers essentially the same content as Ovid Medline. PubMed and Medline content is provided by the US National Library of Medicine (NLM), National Center for Biotechnology Information.
See the previous tab "PubMed - login" for how to set up an account on PubMed connected to the University. This should enable links to full text of articles through the FindIt@Bham icon.
A file of search results from PubMed can also be downloaded for import into supported referencing software. EndNote Online is recommended for taught undergraduate and postgraduate students at UoB. This should also confirm full text links where available.
PubMed is one of a large number of databases hosted as open-web resources by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).
