Starting Monday 5/13/24, CCNY Libraries will return to regular hours. Access is limited to CCNY ID holders only. Library services are available online, including research help and InterLibrary Loan.
There are 3 main ways to search for scholarly, peer-reviewed articles-- through a specific database, through a specific journal, or through CUNY's OneSearch catalog. On this page you will find details on accessing all three. Please see the Search Tips page for guidance on searching databases.
Not sure where to start? Have a look at CCNY Libraries' Research Toolkit.
Below is a list of some of the most commonly used databases and tools for Public Health related research. Please see the A-Z Databases Page for a full list of databases you have access to via CCNY Libraries.
What is OneSearch? OneSearch combines in one place three things: the CUNY library book catalog; a massive index of articles from journals, magazines, and newspapers; and unique digital content from the library. The purpose is to allow patrons to search quickly and seamlessly across a vast range of local and remote content. Follow the link below to search OneSearch, but please note that your search might be better suited to subject-specific databases. There is no login required to use OneSearch.
These are steps you can take to find a specific article for which you have a citation.
Below is where you would find the journal in a typical AMA style citation:
Crosby JC, Heimann MA, Burleson SL, et al. COVID-19: A review of therapeutics under investigation [published online ahead of print, 2020 Apr 19]. J Am Coll Emerg Physicians Open. 2020;10.1002/emp2.12081. doi:10.1002/emp2.12081
Journal names are abbreviated. This is the Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians Open.
Don't forget that if the article is not available, you can request it via ILL.
