Database Searching: Setting Up Database Accounts

Medical databases are organized collections of health data, stored electronically and accessible from a computer. Each serves a unique function, yet most are integrated and work together.

Setting up accounts by Database

You have access to resources subscribed through both the UTH SPH Library and the Texas Medical Center Library. Your. UTHealth institutional credentials authenticate your access to the databases. These privileges also include the option for each user to create personal accounts within the databases. This tool is helpful for saving citations and viewing previously used search strategies in the Medline, CINAHL, PubMed, Embase, PsychInfo and Web of Science. Please see their guide for Setting Up Database Accounts for TMC Resources.
