BILD 4: Introductory Biology Lab: Find Journal Articles

This guide is your starting point for navigating library resources and completing assignments for BILD 4.

Top Biology Databases for finding journal articles

These are some of our top databases for finding articles in research journals in Biological/Biomedical Sciences.  

Resources with the Triton icon mean that you need to be connected to the UCSD Network. 

How do I get the article?

In most of our databases, you'll see this button next to each reference: 

Get it at UC

 

 

Clicking the Get it at UC button often goes directly to the article, or you will see some options to get the article if we can't link directly to it:

- Online, if available (usually displays automatically, if not use the "Get it Online from" section to link to article)
- In print (usually for older journals - if it's at the Library you can make your own scan or copy, or if it's in our storage Annex you can request a scan.
- Via interlibrary loan ("Request it" section) if we don't have the article.
