'How to' - Database tutorials and search help
 

If you'd like guidance on how to use the different databases, it is best to use the databases' integrated Help function. It will include information on how to search the database via video or text tutorials and outline what search functions (e.g operators, wildcards, controlled vocabulary) are available in the database. Below are some examples on where you normally can find the Help function.
 

 

If you can't find what you are looking for within the database, you may like to go to a search engine like Google and search for a video tutorial, e.g. PubMed video tutorial.
