A "Check for UW Holdings" button is now available in PubMed in the abstract, abstractplus, and citation format views.
Please note that for journals where UW has online access and we are able to link in PubMed, both purple UW buttons will show electronic access only. The "UW Article Online" button links through to online; the "Check for UW Holdings" displays the online links.
In cases where UW does not have online access, or we are not able to link our online access directly in PubMed, you will only see one purple button: "Check for UW Holdings." When you click on this button you will be able to check for print holdings, and if UW doesn't have the journal in its collections, you have the Document Services options below.
When you select the "HSL Document Delivery" link, and then log in with your UW NetID and password, information about the citation will be automatically pasted into your request form if you already have a Document Services Account. If you do not yet have an account, you will be invited to set one up.

Due to a security alert, William H. Gates Hall & the UW Gallagher Law Library are currently open only to members of the UW School of Law community and other UW students attending scheduled classes in Wm. H. Gates Hall. We do not know how long this limited access policy will last.
The Gallagher Law Library is committed to providing creative methods of access to our materials during this time. The purpose of this notice is to alert UW Librarians of options available to UW students. Please share this information with your colleagues and students.
We apologize for the inconvenience to our users. Thank you for your patience. We look forward to being able to welcome members of the entire UW community and the general public back into Gallagher Law Library in the future. Announcements of any changes in the security restrictions will be posted to the Library homepage.
Please contact us with any questions (lawrefst@u.washington.edu).

Search tips for CINAHL Plus are now available. Effective January 1, 2008 CINAHL Plus will be the only version of the CINAHL database at the UW. If you have email alerts on Ovid CINAHL, consult with your library liaison about moving them.
For the past week PubMed's linkout feature has been experiencing intermittent difficulties. If article buttons are missing and/or you are unable to connect, make note of the citation and go to the HealthLinks eJournals page to locate the article.
The National Library of Medicine is aware of the problem and is working to fix it. Please check back periodically.
