Searching Medline within Web of Knowledge!

You can now search the contents of Medline while undertaking a search of Web of Knowledge! This is potentially good news as Medline represents the majority of content within Pubmed. Furthermore, this development will enable you to simultaneously search across Medline, Web of Science, Biosis Previews and ISI Proceedings!

Pubmed remains as a link on the Library's subject pages for health and sport but will be listed under 'other databases'. The databases can be found via the relevant link to your subject resources.

A word of caution: you aren't able to search by MESH Subject Headings within Web of Knowledge. MESH headings are useful because they are selected by professionals to identify the themes represented in individual papers. However...

Help is at hand: You can still search by MESH headings if you search Medline on its own. To do this, enter Web of Knowledge, click on select a database and opt for Medline. Then select MESH Headings from the right-hand side drop-down menu and search for a term. Alternatively, you can continue to use PubMed.

What do I do if my search terms aren't found via MESH? I'll be updating information about this but in the mean time, you can contact me at P.G.Bradley@bath.ac.uk - indeed, please contact me if you have any comments about these developments.
