Pubmed LinkOut - New Links to Full Text Articles
PubMed, the National Library of Medicine's public version of MEDLINE, has a
new feature called LinkOut. LinkOut provides access to the full text of articles
directly from PubMed search results. Through LinkOut, the Health Sciences Library
identifies the journals for which we have electronic subscriptions. When the
results of a PubMed search includes subscribed journal articles, a link to the
full text displays.
The following are important considerations about LinkOut:
- The link to full text for subscribed articles is indicated by an icon labeled
"Upstate Medical University."
- This icon is seen in the PubMed ABSTRACT display - not in the SUMMARY display
(the initial list of search results). To identify articles that are available
for LinkOut, you must change the list of results to the Abstract display,
or click on the link to the article.
- Most LinkOut journals provide direct access to the full text of the article.
A few journals require a password. If you click on the Upstate icon, and are
prompted for a password, call the Reference Desk at 464-4581.
- You can access PubMed+LinkOut from Biomedical Databases on the Library's
home page, or from the Electronic Databases page: http://www.upstate.edu/library/databases/
- LinkOut is only available on campus, or to Upstate faculty, staff and students
through LEAP. PubMed without LinkOut is available to all users. For more information
about LinkOut, please contact the Reference Desk at 464-4581 or email refdesk@upstate.edu.
