\nYou found the citation to that perfect article but are having problems linking to the full-text. Commonly asked questions regarding full-text retrieval are answered below.<\/p>\n

The journal I need was not listed on the HSLS E-Journal<\/a> list. Does this mean I don\u2019t have access to it? <\/strong>Not necessarily. This list contains e-journal subscriptions licensed by HSLS or jointly by HSLS and the University Library System<\/a> (ULS) as well as selected free resources. ULS also has subscriptions to other e-journals that can be accessed by Pitt and UPMC affiliated users. A print copy of the journal may also be available. Always consult PITTCat<\/a> to determine if access to a journal is available.<\/p>\n

The PubMed full-text link is not working. Does this mean I do not have access to this journal? <\/strong>Not necessarily. Always consult PITTCat to determine if access to a journal is available. Report broken links to a HSLS Technical Services librarian<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In PITTCat I received the message \u201cPITTCat found no records that matched your search\u201d or Pitt does not have access to the volume or year of the journal I need. Now what?<\/strong> Copies of articles can be ordered by faculty, students and staff of the University of Pittsburgh schools of the health sciences and UPMC employees through the HSLS document delivery service<\/a>. There is a $3.50 charge for each article ordered. Rush and priority delivery are also available at a higher rate.<\/a><\/p>\n
