PubMed
@ LCCW | PubMed tutorial | MeSH tutorials Tip: It is possible to restrict search results to articles found in Life West library's journal collection as well as any free full text available on PubMed Central. Using "copy and paste", add the following modifier to the search statement: AND (loprovlifewlib [sb] OR free full text [sb]) Example:
Note: Most researchers do not restrict search results to the locally held journals because many relevant articles would be omitted. The librarians can obtain such articles via interlibrary loan. Tip: In order to focus search results on articles about chiropractic, build your search by combining all appropriate MeSH terms for chiropractic AND the MeSH term for the topic in question. See examples #1, #2, #3 or #4 below.
Example #1: (to retrieve articles published in 2001+) "Manipulation, Chiropractic"[MeSH] OR "Chiropractic"[MeSH] AND "Low Back Pain/therapy" [MeSH]
Example #2: (to retrieve articles published in any year) "Manipulation, Chiropractic"[MeSH] OR "Chiropractic"[MeSH] OR "Manipulation, Spinal"[MeSH] OR ("Manipulation, Spinal" [MeSH] AND chiropractic [tw]) AND "Low Back Pain/therapy" [MeSH]
Example #3: (for a broad, unfocused search) "Low Back Pain/therapy" [MeSH] AND chiropractic [tw]
Example #4: (for a very broad search that might or might not apply to chiropractic) "Low Back Pain/therapy" [MeSH] AND "Musculoskeletal Manipulations" [MeSH]
Tip: For a review of how to use the MeSH database to construct a search using authorized subject headings, go to Chiropractic Articles in PubMed. Tip: From within PubMed, authorized users of the Loansome Doc service can automatically route requests for photocopying the full text of articles they have selected. Fees for document delivery apply.

About Spine
full-text via Ovid The library accesses online full-text of the journal Spine via the Ovid company. From Ovid's list of journal titles beginning with "S" click on Issue List for Spine. The Issue List is organized in reverse chronology, from the most current to the earliest available issue. Locate the desired issue and click on Table of Contents. Each issue has links to all of the articles appearing in the print publication, plus all of the exclusively electronic articles. In the Table of Contents, identify the desired article, and select "Ovid Full Text". In the purple Output menu, select Full Text (PDF). Adobe Acrobat will open. Print the article. Do not close the Adobe window. Use the Back button. Select another article to print. When finished, please LOG OFF !! The Ovid server will take a minute to log out this session. If the current user closes the page without logging off, then no one anywhere on campus can use e-Spine until the full 15-minute session has elapsed. If all user licenses are currently in use, the instruction to "Please try again later" will appear. Tip: When accessing Spine from PubMed@LCCW, display the citation in abstract view in order to reveal a Life West "electronic format " icon. Click this icon to open a new OVID session that directly displays links for the desired article. If all user licenses are currently in use, the following message will appear: "You do not have access to Ovid Full Text. Login or Buy Now." This is misleading. It really means "Please try again later."
About BioMed Central
Many journals are entirely "Open Access" so that full-text is available without charge. Other journals display only the abstracts for free. Only some of the journals are indexed in PubMed, where the citations of full-text articles will display the "free" icon. For those that are not indexed n PubMed, use Quick Search in BioMed Central. In order to restrict a search to one journal, first go to the page dedicated to that publication. For searching in a particular specialty, the list of journals by subject readily identifies relevant journals. Note the Musculoskeletal Disorders category.
