Recommended Databases

Top Three Microbiology Databases to Start With:

Biological Abstracts/BIOSIS - topics focus on biology, including biochemistry, endocrinology, genetics, microbiology, molecular and cellular biology, and physiology.

MEDLINE - topics covered include clinical and experimental medicine; microbiology; pathology; pharmacology; physiology; reproductive biology; toxicology; and veterinary medicine (virtually identical to PubMed).

Web of Science - topics include all science disciplines, includes cited reference searching

Other Databases to Try:

AGRICOLA -covers agriculture topics

Environmental Sciences & Pollution Management (ESPM)- covers environmental sciences topics

Industrial and Applied Microbiology Abstracts (Microbiology A) - covers microorganisms, microbial degradation, antibiotic activity and production, microbial toxins, soil microorganisms and environmental pollution.

Bacteriology Abstracts (Microbiology B) - covers bacteriology, including methodology, taxonomy, cell structure and function, antibiotics, antibacterial agents, and medical, animal and invertebrate bacteriology.

Food Science and Technology Abstracts - covers all areas of food science, including food engineering, microbiology, packaging, technology and toxicology, food laws, regulations and patents

SciFinder Scholar - covers all aspects of chemistry, requires installation of search software.

ArticleFirst - topics covered include science, technology, medicine, social science, business, humanities and popular culture.

ingenta - covers almost all topics, includes an automated alerting service that delivers the tables-of-contents of journals via e-mail.

Dissertation Abstracts - includes the complete range of academic subjects appearing in dissertations accepted at accredited institutions.

GPO Monthly Catalog - Indexes publications of U.S. federal agencies.
