Wellesley provides online access to the National Library of Medicines's databases (PubMed, TOXNET, and more), InfoTrac's Health Reference Center Academic, and to several core medical journals (JAMA, New England Journal of Medicine, British Medical Journal, and Lancet). These journals can be searched through the Library Catalog, and are supplemented by print backfiles going back several decades.
For access to more specialized clinical journals, our membership within the Boston Library Consortium offers Boston Library Consortium Card holders onsite use and limited book circulation, after one-time registration at each institution. To apply for a Consortium card, see Reference staff at either Clapp Library or in the Science Library.
