Medicine

In the discovery system GöDiscovery you can find books, journals, databases and a large number of articles from journals - both from the holdings of the SUB Göttingen and the institute libraries as well as from external sources. By default, the local holdings are searched; the search area can be expanded via the settings.

In the Göttingen University Catalogue (GUK) you will only find the local holdings.

With very few exceptions, medical journals are only available digitally. You can find e- and print editions in GöDiscovery and in the Göttingen University Catalogue (GUK). The Electronic Journals Library (EZB) provides an overview sorted by subject and uses color symbols to indicate access to the full text. Many licensed titles can also be used outside the campus network via eduVPN.

Databases can be found in the Database Information System (DBIS), organized by subject. The licensed fee-based databases can also be found in GöDiscovery and in the Göttingen University Catalogue (GUK). The free databases can only be found in DBIS. Data resources of various types are listed, in particular subject bibliographies that list articles, as well as full-text databases that contain articles from electronic journals.

A selection of important medical databases and learning platforms in DBIS

• AMBOSS
  AMBOSS combines a learning program and reference work into an adaptive medical knowledge platform and is suitable for all students in the preclinical and clinical stages of their studies.
• Biorender
  BioRender is a cloud-based web service for the creation of scientific graphics and illustrations for publication purposes in the life sciences, medicine and pharmacy. The BioRender app can be accessed via all common browsers. With BioRender, professional graphics can be created in just a few minutes using ready-made symbols and templates.
• Cinahl
  CINAHL is the electronic form of the Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature. Almost all English-language nursing journals, the publications of the American Nurses Association (ANA) and the National League for Nursing (NLN) are evaluated in the database.
