Linking to Full-Text Articles Just Got Easier!

HSLS has implemented a new tool that allows you to access the full text of articles with one click. That tool, called a link solver, is available in HSLS subscription databases, such as PubMed and Ovid, and provides direct access from an article’s citation to the full text of that article.

To see the tool in action, Pitt and UPMC users can scroll through search results and look for the dark blue  button. Depending on the database, you may have to click on the article title before seeing the button.

Clicking on the button will lead you directly to the full-text view of an article if HSLS subscribes to the e-journal.

For various reasons, some articles have not been set up for full-text access. In these cases, clicking on the button will lead you to the screen below, indicating “It was not possible to link directly to the full text of this item. Please select from the options below:”
