Midwifery: Key Midwifery databases

This guide contains all the resources and services available from the library to support Midwifery courses.

The following databases will enable you to discover academic papers and research within the field of Midwifery. Often by searching within a subject-specific database your results will be more focused and relevant.

Usually you can conduct either a basic or advance search - an advanced search enables you to combine key words more effectively and to search within specific fields, such as author.

Sometimes you may find a journal article which is not available to BCU online, but you can always consider requesting it through an Inter-Library Loan request.
