Evidence-based medicine and systematic reviews
Finding specific resources
Use Library Search to find books (including eBooks) and journal articles on your reading lists or mentioned in lectures or tutorials.
Where journal articles are included in an online reading/resource list, you can click on the link to access the full text. Otherwise, if you know the specific journal you want, you can find it through Library Search, or from the Library's Find an ejournal page: search by the name of the journal and then follow links to the year, volume number and page number of the article you want.
Alternatively, if you are looking for a specific journal, you can search by title or subject at Browzine.
When working on assignments, it is likely you will need to look beyond your unit reading list for information on your topic.
