Searching E-Books and E-Journals by Subject

A new feature has been added to the Maguire Medical Library’s website.  In addition to sorting E-Books and E-Journals by title, date, and author, you can now locate E-Books and E-Journals related to a specific medical subject.

At the top of the library’s current list of E-Journals and E-Books is a new dropdown menu consisting of about 50 different medical subjects.  Simply select the subject you are interested in from the dropdown menu to retrieve a list of E-Journals and E-Books associated with your selected field.

To view the list of current E-Books provided by the Maguire Medical Library, go to http://www.med.fsu.edu/library/Ebooks.  To view the list of current E-Journals, go to http://www.med.fsu.edu/library/ejournals.  Remember, if you are off campus, be sure to click on the "Off-Campus Access (EZProxy)" link first to access full text articles.
