Vet Med Information via PubMed

October 19th, 2009 by Mary Wood

PubMed provides references to journal articles in the life sciences, with a concentration on biomedicine. While human clinical medicine remains the primary focus, PubMed does index a limited number of veterinary medicine and animal science journals.

One of several PubMed “Special Queries” is Veterinary Medicine / Animal Health.   It retrieves citations to journal literature, combining subject search terms, title words, and veterinary and animal health journal titles.  Essentially, it applies a search filter over any search terms you use, limiting the results to veterinary related resources.

PubMed Search and Veterinary Information Resources

PubMed Search and Veterinary Information Resources

The PubMed Search and Veterinary Information Resources page provides links to additional resources and organizations.

Enter PubMed from the Health Sciences Libraries page to ensure access to all of the full-text journals subscribed to by the library.  To apply the Veterinary Medicine / Animal Health filter to a search, enter PubMed from the HSL site and type “veterinary[sb]” into the search query; that set can then be combined with any other search term.
