PubMed, Full Text, and My NCBI: Home

My NCBI is a tool for customizing PubMed and other NCBI databases. It also increases the availability of full text by enabling access to UMaine ejournal subscriptions even if PubMed does not provide direct links to an article. For detailed information about My NCBI, including My Bibliography, managing compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy, and SciENcv, consult My NCBI Help.

Full text access options include:

• Create a My NCBI account and set the University of Maine as a preferred Outside Tool
• Search PubMed through a unique University of Maine link
• Install & use the URSUS Libraries Proxy Bookmarklet

The first 2 options display the ArticleLinker button in PubMed search results displayed in Abstract Format. Clicking the button provides direct links to full text. When full text is unavailable, ArticleLinker provides options to search the URSUS library catalog for items available in print at the library, and to submit document delivery/interlibrary loan (ILL) requests.
