The resources linked below are a combination of subscription databases and free
web-based research sites. Please use caution when using materials from the
open web, as not all research is peer-reviewed and may therefore not be deemed
acceptable by your professor.
TIP:If your topic is related to chiropractic, the Index to Chiropractic Literature (also linked below) is generally the best place to start. Full-text is not usually available online via ICL, but the LRC should have print copies of most materials indexed by ICL.
NOTE: Although the LRC does provide Interlibrary Loan Services, we require a minimum of one week’s notice for all ILL requests. We cannot guarantee when or even IF an article will be delivered via ILL. The availability of any given article is completely dependent on whether or not the item is owned by another library that is willing to provide an ILL copy for free, as well as the other library’s processing timeline, which varies widely by institution.
PLEASE NOTE: Subscription resources are denoted by the [S] symbol following the resource title.
Some require a password for on- or off-campus access; some will only require a password if you're off-campus.
For instructions for accessing these sites, please visit the Learning Resources Center Blackboard page.
Index to Chiropractic Literature
Online index providing access to bibliographic records for peer-reviewed literature
produced by chiropractic publishers.
Full-text is not generally available via ICL. However, the LRC subscribes
to many of the materials whose bibliographic records can be retrieved using ICL.
We also offer Interlibrary Loan services for items we do not own, but we cannot guarantee
delivery times for any requested materials. ILL request forms can be found
under "Forms & Resources" above.
PubMed
PubMed is a government resource (managed by the U.S. National Library of Medicine
and the National Institutes of Health) that provides online access to materials
related to health science. Some access is full-text, but many are limited
to abstract only.
If you locate an article of interest that is only available as an abstract,
please see the LRC staff for further assistance. We will be glad
to help you to determine whether the school has on-campus access
to the material in question.
We also offer Interlibrary Loan services for
items we do not own, but we cannot guarantee delivery times for any requested materials. ILL
request forms can be found under "Forms & Resources" above .
