For most article entries in PubMed, links are provided to access the full text article. However, these typically direct you to the journal publisher's website where you may encounter a paywall (i.e. be asked to pay to read the article). To solve this, you can use the library's custom PubMed URL.

This custom PubMed URL adds a "find article @ Daemen" button to the full text links for all articles entries in PubMed. See screenshot below:

Daemen full text link in PubMed

Click this button to search all Daemen Library resources for the full-text article. If the Library has access to the article through any of our database and journal subscriptions, you'll be redirected you to where you can view the article. If not, you'll be taken to a pre-populated interlibrary loan request form.

With the addition of the Daemen catalog search button, library staff considers PubMed to be one of the best ways for faculty and students to search for articles in the health sciences. The most important thing to remember with PubMed is that you should always access it through Daemen Library's unique link, listed below (and found on our A-Z Databases page).
