FIU Libraries: Health Information Help Guide: Advanced

Advanced Level: Try Databases

If you are looking for in-depth health information at an advanced level, databases will be useful. These resources will mainly help you find scholarly articles on health topics, so be aware that these articles tend to be highly specialized and use technical language (jargon).

If you want overviews on health topics instead, see the basic- and/or intermediate-level resources.
