Instructors - One of your students could win the Undergraduate Research Award!

The Undergraduate Research Award is a $500 prize for an "undergraduate research project that best demonstrates the ability to locate, select, and synthesize information from scholarly resources and uses those resources in the creation of an original research project."

Heads up to instructors! Keep an eye out this fall for undergraduate projects that incorporate authoritative and scholarly information sources. 

You could nominate your students for this award in the spring!  Information from last year is on this page: http://library.uncg.edu/info/undergraduate_research_award.aspx

Links from PubMed to UNCG articles fixed

Just be sure that you're going into PubMed from a link on the library site!

 

For instance, UNCG University Libraries --> Databases --> PubMed

 

The PubMed records you see will now have UNCG logos that lead you to a page with

• View full text link - IF we have this article online
• Check library catalog - see if we have this journal in print (not guaranteed)
• Interlibrary Loan button - in case we don't own this article

 

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.
