Primo
Discovery search tool that you can use to begin your research or to find additional resources. Primo does not search everything the library has access to; it should not be used exclusively. It can, however, be a valuable additional resource.

PubMed Central (PMC)
A free full-text archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature at the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
Google Scholar
Searches scholarly journal articles. Will be useful for citation searches--finding which articles have cited one of your good articles found in another database. Run a search of the title of your good article--if GS pulls up the good article in the results, you'll see a CITED BY link--that'll provide you with a list of articles in GS that have cited YOUR article.
Should *never* be the only database you search. Use it to supplement more comprehensive and authoritative library databases.
