PubMed vs. OVID Medline
The National Library of Medicine's MEDLINE database is available from many sources. The two primary ways to access MEDLINE at UA are PubMed and Ovid. Both are available on the AHSL Web under Databases.
Use PubMed• if you want to learn a MEDLINE interface that will be always available to you, even if you leave UA. • when you want quick results with strategies automatically created for you.• when you are looking for extremely recent citations. • if you are off-campus and having connection issues. • when you also want to search for genetics and molecular biology information
Use Ovid MEDLINE• to be guided through selections for a precise search based on Medical Subject Headings, subheadings,
and limits. • to build a search strategy in steps and by trying multiple combinations
For a more extensive comparison of Ovid MEDLINE and PubMed, click here, a site posted by our colleagues at Dartmouth!

Note: You can go to PubMed directly, but by starting from the AHSL home page, you will be
linked from the database TO items in the Library’s collections.

Changing gears…to other search engines
29
Google may be a good first step!
30
Google Scholar > Google (plain)
31
Google Scholar (www.scholar.google.com)
• It is one of the largest databases on earth.• It does not include commercial content• It does how your library holdings.• It has a unique relevancy ranking • It may give you only a partial answer. • It is wise to use other sources as well

Tips from Google re Google
35
Phrase search ("") …exact words in that exact order without any change. Google already uses the order and the fact that the words are together as a very strong signal and will stray from it only for a good reason, so quotes are usually unnecessary…
Search within a specific website (site:) Google allows you to specify that your search results must come from a given website.
Terms you want to exclude (-) Attaching a minus sign immediately before a word indicates that you do not want pages that contain this word to appear in your results
Fill in the blanks (*) The *, or wildcard, is a little-known feature that can be very powerful
The OR operator Google's default behavior is to consider all the words in a search. If you want to specifically allow either one of several words, you can use the OR operator (note that you have to type 'OR' in ALL CAPS).
Exceptions to 'Every word matters‘ Words that are commonly used, like 'the,' 'a,' and 'for,' are usually ignored (these are called stop words). But there are even exceptions to this exception. The search [ the who ] likely refers to the band; the query [ who ] probably refers to the World Health Organization -- Google will not ignore the word 'the' in the first query
Punctuation that is not ignored Punctuation in popular terms that have particular meanings, like [ C++ ] or [ C# ] (both are names of programming languages), are not ignored.The dollar sign ($) is used to indicate prices. [ nikon 400 ] and [ nikon $400 ] will give different results.…The underscore symbol _ is not ignored when it connects two words, e.g. [ quick_sort ].

Google search basics: Basic search helpSearch is simple: just type whatever comes to mind in the search box…Sometime you'll find exactly what you were looking for with just a basic query. However the following tips can help you refine your technique to make the most of your searches…
Some basic facts Every word matters. Generally, all the words you put in the query will be used Search is always case insensitive With some exceptions, punctuation is ignored
Guidelines for better search Keep it simple. Simple is good. Think how the page you are looking for will be written Use the words that are most likely to appear on the page Describe what you need with as few terms as possible Choose descriptive words
