MEDLINE can also be searched in the NLM's PubMed database which includes "in-process" records for articles that have not yet been entered into MEDLINE. PubMed also covers a broader range of journals, but does not provide full text articles as Ebsco access does.

To include alternative & holistic sources in your search, select AltHealth Watch from EBSCO's database menu. It covers 160 publications including a small number of peer-reviewed journals.
