25 Million Journal Citations

On June 16, 2015, PubMed attained a major milestone when the
25 millionth journal citation was added to the database.

Just imagine, if this one database available to ACC students has 25 million citations, how many more are awaiting searches for your assignment or research paper.

Consult a reference librarian at your campus to help you with this wonderful opportunity for ACC students.
