Step 1: Choose two Databases
The Cornell IACUC requires that you search at least two databases for your alternatives search. Here are good places to start.
- Web of Science--covers animal research topics well
--searches multiple databases at once. One search in Web of Science satisfies the need to search more than one database. To do this, select All Databases from the drop-down menu at the top of the Web of Science interface. This All Databases search includes most of the information found in PubMed.
**Searches 1900 - present - CAB Abstracts--good for finding agricultural and animal research information
**Searches 1973 - present - PubMed--PubMed is a go-to source for medical and health information
**Searches 1946-present
Cornell Library provides access to many more databases. For a complete list, check the Databases page
