I Found a Reference in PubMed and now I want the Article

   Why? PubMed will recognize the journals the library subscribes to.
2. Next, in PubMed, conduct your search.
3. Click on the underlined title of the article you wish to retrieve.
   Note: If you are off site, you will be prompted for your URMC email username and password. If you know it,  you can also use your NetID username and password.
4. Next, select the red “Find Text @ UR” button:
   Note: If you click on the button provided by the publisher, you may be prompted for payment.

   Or Sometimes…
   You will be taken to the library catalog. Look in the center of the page for:
   • A link to the electronic journal, OR
   • Special instructions, OR
   • Text indicating the article is NOT available electronically.
   Note: If the article is not available electronically, it may be in print in the library (most articles pre-1990 are print only).
