Resources for Medical Assistants

This is a collection of 30+ subscription databases made available free to Alaskans by annual funding from State of Alaska. By going to the "Health" tab, you can search 7 databases to find free full-text health and medicine articles.

Google Scholar searches across a wide range of Web sources including journal articles, dissertations, theses, preprints, technical reports, and other materials. Google Scholar cannot access the proprietary content of library databases but can augment your search.

Go to PubMed from the Alaska Medical Library website to see links to free full-text articles available through Alaska's Digital Pipeline. Change PubMed's "Display Settings" from "Summary" to "Abstract" to see an Alaska flag icon ("Free for Alaskans"). Click on the icon to read the article.

With your AML log-in, through Journals@Ovid, you can find full-text articles in the Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LWW) collection, which contains hundreds of medical and health journals.

If you use PubMed, by registering with Loansome Doc (a free PubMed service), you can order articles directly from Alaska Medical Library during your PubMed search. Article orders are free for AML contract users and discounted for deposit-account users.
