research in our databases.

The Library's health sciences research databases are among the most used by students and faculty here at UVU. That's why we strive to have the best we can get! Here are some of the resources you can use for your research:

EBrary

EBrary is a collection of ebooks in health sciences and related topics. It includes dozens of books from the World Health Organization, Springer, Elsevier, and other big names in health sciences publishing. Because we purchased this collection as a subscription, older, outdated content is frequently replaced with new editions. You can begin to use the collection here.

MEDLINE and PubMed

MEDLINE and PubMed are two broad spectrum databases that cover all areas in medicine and allied health. Both contain peer-reviewed articles and are updated with new content daily. To access these and other health sciences article databases, visit our Health Sciences Research page.

Online Reference Books

The Library has been collecting online reference books in a number of topics for several years now, and we have a great collection of general reference ebooks in medicine. Our collection includes the Dictionary of Public Health, the Oxford Companion to Medicine, the SAGE Handbook of Healthcare, and many more. To explore these books, visit our Online Encyclopedias and Dictionaries page.

We also have many standard health sciences and medical reference books in print in our reference collection on the first floor of the library.

ScienceDirect

ScienceDirect is another great resource for finding articles in medicine, nutrition, physiology, and related topics. The journals in this database specialize in cutting edge research
