Faster Research Starts with NIH Library Tools

The NIH Library provides you with a wide range of journals, books, databases and multimedia you need for your research. Learn about our tools to get your content more quickly and easily. 

If you’re on the NIH network/VPN, you get instant access. Offsite? Just log in through the NIH Library website to unlock your resources. HHS users should log into the HHS Digital Library and contact their librarians to learn more about which resources below are available to them. 

Start at the NIH Library Homepage
Just type in the search box to get started and our search engine does the rest:

  • A book or article title, author, or keywords
  • A DOI, PMID, or other identifier

Browse A–Z Lists

Use NIH Library GO Icons
Search PubMed@NIH or NIH-licensed databases and look for the “NIH Library GO” icon. Click on it to:

  • Get instant access to full-text where available
  • Seamlessly request items not owned by the NIH Library 

Not Finding It? Just Ask.
If you can’t find what you’re looking for or we don’t own an item, NIH Library staff can help track it down for you. And, if you’re unsure where to start, our experts can walk you through the best tools for your research.
