AHS 101 - Wellness

While you may be able to find what you need using the search box on the library homepage, it may be advantageous to search in a  specific database.

• Academic Search Premier 

   May be particularly useful for identifying public responses to various health issues.
• MEDLINE 

  Access to articles and research in health and medicine. MEDLINE citations are also in PUBMED but MEDLINE has additional search capabilities.
• MedlinePlus

  Trusted health information website provided by the National Library of Medicine
• PsycINFO 

  Covers the discipline of psychology, and the psychological aspects of other disciplines. Possibly good for those looking at body image and/or emotional health
• PubMed 

  Like MEDLINE gives access articles and research in medicine and health. It does have a more user-friendly interface than MEDLINE. PubMed also provides access to additional relevant web sites not found in MEDLINE. It does not have the "Find-It!" button for easy access to full text.
• SPORTDiscus 

  Access to articles in sports, physical fitness, physical education, and related disciplines

Begin searching the at the library's homepage at http://library.wheaton.edu

When formulating your search strategy:

• Use quotes ("") to search for an exact phrase

• Use a truncation symbol (*) to search all word variants
  • (e.g. compute* retrieves compute, computing, computer, and computers)

When you are looking at your search results:

• You can select the format:
  • (e.g., "Books," "Articles," or "Video/DVDs")
