PubMed now links to our link resolver

If you enter PubMed through a link on the library site, you can now navigate from a result into our list of journal subscriptions. (link resolver)

1. From library home --> Databases --> PubMed - there are many places on the library site with this link but this is the fastest path
2. Type a search
3. Click into a title to see the detailed record
4. Top right corner - UNCG logo that will check to find out whether we have this article online.

If you see a "free full text" logo, follow that link INSTEAD of the UNCG logo. (Our link resolver doesn't do a good job leading people to free full text) 

If you see a logo with a publishers' name, ignore it.

5. After you click the UNCG logo, you should see one of these things
  • a link to our online full text subscription for this article
  •  a note saying "Get this item in print" (click "read notes" to find out if our print subscription years include the article you need)
  • "online resource not found" with a link to Interlibrary loan on the far right
This just happened late last week, so I'm still updating my online guides to PubMed!

Thanks,
Lea
