Toxicology: Find Articles
USearch
Not sure which database to start looking in? USearch is a cross-platform search tool that allows you to search the Library Catalogue and a variety of databases at the same time. Your search results will include material from the Library's online and print collections.
Keywords v.s. Subject Headings
Keywords and Subject Headings are both useful tools when searching. Some databases don't have Subject Headings, so identifying keywords and synonyms is an important part of searching.
