Hi all,
PubMed is a great free biomedical database.
Here at UNCG we try to get patrons to use a PubMed link from our website, for instance this link from the databases list. Going through our library link into PubMed puts a UNCG logo inside each result that will check for UNCG library full text online, and if it isn't found, will show an Interlibrary Loan link.
But right now our link to PubMed is acting funny. It isn't leading to records that have the UNCG logo in them.
If you hear from patrons asking how to get full text for a PubMed article - follow steps you'd normally take if someone asked you if UNCG has a specific article
A. Shortcut that often works - type the article title into WorldCat Discovery on the library home page

or
B. Longer path - search the journal title in the Journals A to Z list. Look for a journal link that has date coverage that includes the issue that you need.

erhelp has been notified of this problem, luckily the workaround is pretty easy
Thanks,
Lea
