Searching PubMed with UMHS Full-Text Linking

PubMed comprises more than 30 million citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. Citations may include links to full-text content from PubMed Central and publisher web sites.

Using the UMHS Outside Link to PubMed allows UMHS students and faculty to locate any full text that may be available through our UMHS library subscriptions. When you search PubMed using this special link to the new PubMed interface, you will see the UMHS logo link appear in the top right area of the article record page. The logo is a link back to the full text available from our EBSCO journal database subscriptions.

You may also create your own personal login to NCBI and then login to your MyNCBI account.This will allow you  to see the UMHS logo as well as save your searches, among other things. 


The new PubMed interface is now live! Check it out!

PubMed LinkOut to Full Text now at UMHS

The PubMed LinkOut service connecting you to an article's full text, now includes the journal holdings of the Anne Ross Library. Follow the link from the Anne Ross Library Home page to the PubMed search interface (link in the left sidebar). Then when you perform your literature search in PubMed, if the article you discover is available in full text from our EBSCOHost  journal subscriptions (such as Medline Complete), you will notice the UMHS logo icon in the top right of the PubMed article citation record. Just click on the icon and arrive at the corresponding  UMHS EBSCO citation record for that same article, along with the link it contains to the full text PDF.


Set up your own, free, MyNCBI account on the PubMed site while you are there, so you can save all your searches, have remote access to LinkOut, among other things!  If you have any questions or need further assistance with this new feature and /or searching the PubMed database, please contact me at the library.
