PubMed is a freely accessible public resource at PubMed.gov. However, the NYU-Dibner community can get more out of it by clicking the PubMed link on our databases page. When you access PubMed from the library, you will get a direct link to the full text of an article if it is available through the library's subscriptions.

Perform many powerful searches from the main box:

  • Enter last name and first initial: 
  • For example: Russo R

• Topic:

  • Start typing the word and PubMed will offer topics: 
  • For example: diabetes gaucoma

• Author and Topic:

  • combine the above in the proper format: 
  • For example: diabetes glaucoma russo r

• Citation:

  • journal name or abbreviation, title, author, date in various combinations:
  • For Example:
    • Clin Ophthalmol Matsuoka M
    • Clinical Ophthalmology Matsuoka M
    • Clinical Ophthalmology Intraocular 2012
