Boston Public Library
The BPL has some databases with full-text health information. To access these, you will need a BPL card and an electronic PIN. You can set these up at the BPL in Copley Square or any BPL Branch location.
You can see the list of electronic access resources they have from this web page. I recommend speaking with a librarian to get advice on which resources would be best for your particular topic, but you may want to try:
- Health & Wellness Resource Center
- Health Reference Center Academic
- Nursing Resource Center
Minuteman Library System
The MMLS also pays for specialized full-text resources. You will need proof of residency in any town with a library in the system (Newton, Somerville, Cambridge, and many more) in order to get a card with an access code on the back.
I recommend going to your specific library and speaking to a librarian, since some libraries have access to databases other libraries in the system do not. A brief list of some databases that all MMLS patrons can access include:
- Science in Context
- Nursing and Allied Health Collection Resource Center
- Health Reference Center Academic
- Health and Wellness Resource Center
- Expanded Academic ASAP
You can usually access these by going to the library homepage and finding the link for databases.
