The MSU Libraries subscribe to a number of databases that index and abstract much of the journal literature in the biological and medical sciences. These resources make keyword and subject searching relatively easy. Selecting the most appropriate database(s) to search and the most effective terminology will depend on the topic, and it is necessary to use more than one database.
If you need assistance with searching please contact Andrea Kepsel, Veterinary Medicine Librarian, at akepsel@msu.edu.
