* There is a special CDPH PubMed URL to access full journal articles?

* You can export citations of full journal articles directly from Ovid to EndNote?

* Librarians at the Public Health Library, who have access to hundreds of databases, indexes, and other resources, will research nearly any work-related topic for you, and post relevant citations to your own web portal?

* The library has a secure web portal where you can request library services, track your document delivery requests, view your literature search results, and more?
