When doing research in public health, there are a variety of sources available to you. The first step is selecting a topic and figuring out what types of sources of information you will need to use for your research.
If you need scholarly and/or peer reviewed articles, you will want to start with a database. If you need background information, a good starting point would be a subject encyclopedia.

Online encyclopedias are a good starting point for research.
Even though you can find journal articles in the Library's databases, below are some important journals for this area that are available electronically.
There are many print reference sources that are also good starting points for research. The following are shelved in the reference collection on the 3rd floor of Library South (Palmer Wing).
