Search for a topic using a health science databaseThe vast majority of Western's resources for health sciences- (including journal articles) can be found by searching for a topic in one of our library databases. Databases are electronic collections of published information that are collected and organized.
For a list of recommended databases for health sciences, please visit the databases page of this guide.
Databases also allow you to search for or within specific publications. See additional information below.
There are print journals available for browsing in the Learning Commons. See the list of health science publications below.
Article requests are able to be requested and delivered electronically via email using our interlibrary loan service, so please contact library@westerntc.edu or submit your request via the ask a librarian form on our website. Just because we don't own it doesn't mean we can't get it for you!
Note: We paused our print subscriptions in response campus closures and the COVID-19 pandemic. If you have any questions about subscriptions, periodicals, or other library resources, please speak with a librarian or contact library@westerntc.edu.
There are many electronic full text periodicals that are available via library databases (included on the "Databases" tab). Use the Advanced Search option to search for (or within) a specific publication, or to search for a subject or program area. If you need help finding or navigating to specific publications, please reach out to a librarian.
