Dental Hygiene - PubMed & Catalog Reserves

How to find dental articles:

Method 1:

Step 1: The CBC Library holds several journals for Dental Hygiene which are indexed by PubMed; visit our guide page for detailed instructions on Searching PubMed For CBC Library's Dental Hygiene Journals.

  • You can use MeSH subject keywords to improve your PubMed search results
  • Limit your search to CBC journals individually or collectively
  • Limit your search to the last 5 years

Step 2: Print out or write down the citations of articles you selected.

Step 3: To request the articles from journals that CBC holds in print, go to the library Circulation desk.

Step 4: Some journals are available online and you can go directly to their websites; note that except for Journal of dental hygiene each title has a 1 year embargo (the most recent year's worth of articles are not available online).

Method 2

Step 1: Search PubMed limited to all dental journal articles that have free full text. You can either

  1. click the limits tab and select 'Links to free full text' and subset 'Dental journals'
  2. or run the search and add your keywords at the beginning of the search with AND preceding the existing search limiters.

How to find dental books in the CBC Library:

Method 1:

You can simply do a keyword search in the catalog. E.g., search by the keyword “dental” and there were 60 results as of 5/17/07. Try other keywords, too.

Method 2:

Most dental books (51 as of 5/17/07) were put on reserve by your instructors.

Searching the CBC Library Catalog for Reserves

  1. Go to the CBC Catalog.
  2. Click on the Course Reserve tab.
  3. Select the Department.
  4. Click the Search button.

Pay attention to the “Library Location” of the books. “Reserve, Reference” is at the beginning of the REFERENCE SHELVES; “Reserve, Circulation” is behind the circulation desk. Most reserve books are library use only.
