PubMed linking problem

** update **  PubMed is all better!



Hi folks,

Sam and a patron noticed that our database links to PubMed are now sending on and off campus users through NC LIVE.

This isn't a big deal for searching PubMed, it's a free database. But it means that our link resolver "check for full text" links aren't showing up in PubMed.  (normally when you click into a result you should see the UNCG logo that will check for full text)

Sam is contacting erhelp@uncg.edu

Meanwhile, the workaround is to treat PubMed results like any article info that you find in a random place outside of UNCG.

a. Copy the article title into the red search box on the library home page

or 

b. Try searching the article title in Google - maybe someone is giving it away

or

c. Search the journal title in the Journal A to Z list

Best,
Lea
