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.

If you need something immediately, it may be better for you to use something that is immediately available in full text. If you need help finding materials, the reference librarians will be happy to help
