This guide is designed to connect you to resources to support your Deep Dive assignment, and is based on the Biodesign textbook resources located under the Needs Screening section on this page: http://ebiodesign.org/chapter/2-1-disease-state-fundamentals/.
Since many resources (such as PubMed, or medical textbooks) are utilized throughout several sections, the guide is arranged more broadly to group similar resources together. You may need to consult resources from several of these pages in order to get the information you need for 2.2 Existing Solutions, for example.
Please don't hesitate to contact a librarian (HealthSciences@brown.libanswers.com) with any questions or for a research consultation.
If you want to connect to full text no matter where you are online, you can install the LibKey browser extension. LibKey Nomad provides one-click article access to library subscriptions. The same "Download PDF" button shows across different platforms - from subscription library databases like JSTOR, to open databases like PubMed and Google Scholar, publisher journal pages, and even Wikipedia references.
Since it's connected to your browser, you don't have to go through the library website or be logged in to Brown's network to be linked back to our subscriptions. If we don't have the PDF, it will bring you to a page to request an interlibrary loan of the article.
It doesn't require a user account, does not cache user credentials, and does not sell or share user data.
