One-Click Access to PDF from PittCat

The new version of PittCat is a collaboration between HSLS, the University Library System, and Barco Law Library.

PittCat search results for individual articles now include links to offer quick access to popular ways to access articles.

PittCat users can click links below an article of interest to download article PDF, view issue contents, or read online.
Article titled, “Clinical and virological data of the first cases of COVID-19 in Europe: a case series,” as viewed after searching in PittCat.

Below the article citation, you may see a link to directly download article PDFs (“Download Article PDF”), when available, or directly access the HTML article (“Read Article”). Search results for articles also include direct links to the containing issue’s table of contents in BrowZine (“View Issue Contents”). Results for journals themselves include a link to the journal’s entire table of contents (“View Journal Contents”, also in BrowZine). For those users who prefer the flexibility to choose their full-text provider when the University has access through multiple sources, the “Available Online” link to a list of available providers is still available.
