First time users are required to register on the platform with their first name, last name, and university email address

ClinicalKey Student (formerly ClinicalKey Medical Education) provides digital access to cross-searchable medical and dentistry textbooks, images, and videos. Users also have access to a range of study tools, including the ability to annotate, make notes and access the books offline.

ERIC
- This link opens in a new window
A database of indexed and full-text education literature and resources; an essential tool for education researchers of all kinds.

It provides access to education literature to augment education by facilitating the use of educational research and information to improve practice in learning, teaching, and educational decision-making. Coverage: 1966 to present.
ScienceDirect
- This link opens in a new window
A platform of peer-reviewed literature built on quality, interdisciplinary research. It helps find answers to research questions, and gain insights into trending research topics.

Note that there are some titles that we do not subscribe to. Journal coverage is from the first volume for most titles, but just from 1995 for The Lancet and a few other Academic Press titles. We have access to Elsevier's 'Freedom Collection' titles and a few subscribed titles outside of this collection. We have full text access to the 2000-2008 Veterinary Medicine collections. ScienceDirect also hosts ejournals for other publishers, but we do not have access to those (e.g. American Institute of Chemical Engineers, American Psychological Association, Anderson Publishing Ltd, CRC Press).

Acland's Video Atlas of Human Anatomy

The resource consists of five volumes, which can be divided into the following subject areas: upper extremity, lower extremity, trunk, head & neck, and internal organs. The content can be searched by anatomical regions and parts, as well as by the A-Z index. Throughout each program there are review sections that let you test yourself.
Anatomy.tv

The information in Anatomy.tv is divided into sections, such as 3D Atlas, 3D Real-time, Functional Anatomy, Clinical Specialties, Therapy, Language Editions, Other Products, and Quizzes and Activities. Users may manipulate the images by rotating, zooming, and peeling away layers, while viewing the accompanying text.
NetAnatomy

It serves as a place to review anatomy after initial exposure to the subject, e.g. students beginning a clinical rotation, and USMLE (National Board) preparation. The contributors of NetAnatomy have extensive experience teaching human anatomy to medical and health sciences students. Current development efforts are focused on creating Gross Anatomy content that is organized by biological systems, e.g. Digestive System, Musculoskeletal System, in addition to the current regional organization.

Visible Body

Visible Body provides a comprehensive 3D atlas of the human body. Access Visible Body via the desktop link if you are using a PC or Mac. See the information box on the Learning Resources tab for app details.
