PubMed links to UNCG full text are not working

Normally if you click into a PubMed link on our library site, you should be able to click into PubMed results and see a UNCG logo that leads to our subscription (or an Interlibrary Loan button in case we don't own that item).

During our link resolver upgrade, these links have stopped working!

If you use PubMed, here are some workarounds.

A) Type the journal title into the Journal A to Z list. If we own the year that you need, follow links to the article

OR

B)  Shortcut - paste the article title inside quotation marks in the red search box like this
"Serving size guidance for consumers: is it effective?"

Usually you'll see an article record.  Click "view now" to get into full text, or click into the title to see a call number or an Interlibrary Loan link in case we don't own this article.

PubMed - Now with links to UNCG full text!!

PubMed (Medline), the free guide to health care articles, now has links to UNCG full text!

You must get into PubMed through a UNCG libraries link! There are lots of paths into PubMed through the library, this is the fastest.

1. On the libraries home page, choose Databases.

2. Choose PubMed.

3. In PubMed, perform any search. Click into a title to see a longer description of this result. You should see a UNCG logo in the top right corner.

4. That UNCG logo will lead into our Journals A to Z list. Click into "View full text," to navigate to the article.

5. IF you see "Online resource not found," look below that error message. Sometimes there is a link to UNCG full text, or a summary of the years that we own in print for this journal.

Otherwise, look to the RIGHT of the "online not found" error for a link into the Interlibrary Loan Service. Log in with your UNCG computer account and you can ask ILL staff to find a pdf for you.

PubMed links to UNCG e-journal subscriptions

PubMed can now link to full text articles at UNCG. Yes, even off-campus. Three cheers for the new e-journal linking system!

Here's a preview of what you need to do:

1. In your free MyNCBI account (PubMed), set your Outside Tool to UNCG
2. When you search PubMed, sign into your MyNCBI account.
3. In PubMed results, near the abstract, follow the UNCG symbol into the A to Z e-journals list

Here is more detail:

Set Up

1. Sign into your My NCBI account (or create your account if you have not done so). This is your own account with NCBI, not related to the library (yet!).

2. Go to the Site Preferences area.

3. Go to "Outside Tools" set UNCG as your library and save this setting.

Search

1. Start your search from a PubMed link from the UNCG library site.

2. Type a search

3. UNCG links are located near the abstracts of results.  To see the UNCG symbol in your list of results, set the Display Settings link to Abstract.

4. Click on the UNCG symbol to go into the UNCG A to Z e-journals list.

5. If there is a "full text" link in the A to Z e-journals list, follow it directly into the online article OR into the entire journal (where you might need to click a few times to navigate to your article).

6. If there is a message "online resource not found," you can use the Interlibrary Loan link to ask ILL staff to find the pdf from another library.  Log in with your UNCG computer account info (same as blackboard).  The publication info in the request will already be filled in.

More robust help documentation on this will be forthcoming when library instruction, consults, and other immediate beginning and middle of semester library business allows.

PubMed filters to replace limits page

PubMed will replace the Limits page with sidebar filters.  "Coming soon." Preview available from  the NLM Technical Bulletin.

PubMed citation manager update

The Send to command now has a "citation manager" option, so one less click is involved in saving results to a ctation manager.  Most of the process is still the same for EndNote Web.

1. Open a web page to PubMed and start a search
2. Next to each citation of interest, check the box
3. Click “Send to Citation Manager” then "Create File"
4. A file called citations.nbib will be created for you to save onto your computer.

1. Log into your own EndNote Web account
2. “Collect tab” then “Import References"
3. “Browse” to select your file, then set the filter to “PubMed (NLM)” then send your references to the “Unfiled” Group (folder)
