If you're doing food and nutrition research, the Life Science Library has some tools to help make your search a little easier.

Finding Articles is a two-step process:

• First, find references to the articles you want in indexes and databases or in the bibliographies of other articles on the same topic.
• Next, find the journal containing the article by looking in the library catalog.

Using Databases

The indexes and databases contain references to thousands of articles, searchable by topic, author, date, etc. Most food and nutrition articles will be indexed in biosciences and biomedical databases. The most comprehensive of the biology databases is BIOSIS. A good general science database is Web of Science. The premier medical database is PubMed. We have tutorials are available for all of these databases.

Online Journals

You may also want to browse some of our online journals. They offer great convenience, but remember to search the UT Library Catalog for the thousands of journals that aren't online, too.

Help

And of course, we're always ready to help you with your search. If you're in the Library, just ring the bell on the main desk. If you're somewhere else, give us a call or an email:
