Search Tips

Specific articles: search in MultiSearch and/or one of the key Medical Physics databases.

Journal title: in the Library catalogue do a “Browse Alphabetically: By Title” search.

• Results may include online, print, and/or older versions. Check what years/volumes we have:
  • Print: see the details in the Holdings tab.
  • Electronic: see the dates in the link or links to the journal.

Abbreviated title: in the Library catalogue do a “Journal Title” search and type an asterisk directly after each part of the abbreviation, e.g. int* j* biom*
