PubMed not linking to UNCG full text/ILL service

Hi all, normally if you use a library link into PubMed, the UNCG logo next to the abstract leads to our link resolver where you get a view full text link or an ILL button.



Today, for me in multiple browsers, the UNCG links from PubMed records only lead to blank link resolver pages.Marcie is going to investigate it.


Meanwhile, for getting full text of PubMed results, remember the basics

a. try searching the article title in WorldCat Discovery

b. or search the journal title in the Journal A to Z list - in PubMed, you might need to put your pointer over the journal title to see the full journal title not just the abbreviation

-in the example above, confusingly the "journal title" is Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews.  Confusingly, many places including us handle this resource like a database and also like a journal.  It's listed in the Journal A to Z list


Sorry I haven't been on top of this much today and no I haven't put links into this post

Thanks,

Lea
