What's the Difference Between MEDLINE®, PubMed® and PubMed Central?
In addition to MEDLINE citations, PubMed also contains:
MeSH is the U.S. National Library of Medicine's controlled vocabulary used for indexing articles for MEDLINE/PubMed. MeSH terminology provides a consistent way to retrieve information that may use different terminology for the same concepts. MeSH subject headings are used in the OhioLINK Book Catalog and in the PubMed and Medline article databases.
If you do not know a specific heading to search, you may find it more helpful to start with a Keyword search, or use the NLM MeSH Browser to explore available headings.
We offer free interlibrary loan service for articles that are not available through our databases. Interlibrary loan articles will be emailed to your Ashland account. Please allow 1-7 days for delivery.
