New in PubMed - See UW Online Articles at a Glance

HSL is taking advantage of a recently added feature of PubMed to create a new PubMed url for you. This url will let you see a list of articles with UW Online links at a glance.

Check it out today!

By using this URL, results will be displayed under two tabs:


  1. All
  2. UW Online

Under the 'All' tab, will be all the results of your search, whether or not the UW has linked to full-text. The UW Online tab displays those results that have links to full-text provided by the UW. This means that each of these citations will have a purple "UW Article Online" button when you display the results in abstract format. Clicking on that button provides you with access to the full text of the article. (If you are working remotely, you still need to click on the off-campus link or use the proxy bookmarklet to be recognized as UW at the article site.)

Please note that the UW Online links in PubMed are not the end of the line! When you do not see a UW Online link in PubMed, this does not necessarily mean that we do not have online acess. It just means that for whatever reason we could not make the link in PubMed. Always double check in HealthLinks for other possible sources of online access. Visit the eJournals page or search HealthLinks for the title (you can use the PubMed abbreviation). If you don't find it online, visit the UW Library Catalog to check for print access in the UW system. If the UW does not own online or print, you can order copies of articles through Document Services for a fee.

For ease of use, bookmark the new url. Ask your library liaison for assistance in developing your own customized filters on MyNCBI
