CINAHL		Also known as the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health
Scopus		Largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature.
PubMed		Over 24 million citations covering medicine, nursing, allied health, exercise science, sports medicine, physical therapy, physiology, and kinesiology.
Academic Search Premier		Full-text of 4600 scholarly journals.
Cochrane Library		Evidence-based medicine (EBM) resources including a database of systematic reviews and meta-analyses
PsycINFO		Covers psychology and psychological aspects of related disciplines such as medicine, physiology, psychiatry, nursing, and pharmacology.
Google Scholar		Another way to search for scholarly literature.
Online Journals		Journals subscribed by the libraries at the University of Utah
	Resources available by uNID on campus. Available off campus to current University of Utah students, staff, and faculty.

Search either the University Libraries Catalog or the Online Journals by journal title to see which library carries the journal. If not available, you may request a copy through Interlibrary Loans ().
