ClinicalKey article linking unavailable

Find It! links to ClinicalKey articles are currently returning a "resource not found" error shown below. We have notified our vendor and they are working on an update that will resolve this issue.

 

Workaround for ClinicalKey article access

ClinicalKey articles are still accessible from the Find It! page by first clicking the information icon¹ and then clicking the link to Browse Journal² as shown below.

PubMed lookup service temporarily unavailable

The PubMed ID (PMID) lookup service is temporarily unavailable. Because of this, our FindIt! button is unable to use PMIDs to connect to the full text of articles. When this happens, you will be redirected to our Citation Linker page where you can still use information other than the PMID such as journal title, ISSN, volume, issue, or DOI to find if an individual article is available in our collection.

Workaround in PubMed

If the citation displays a DOI link or publisher link you may click either of these and it may connect to the full text. This will work if we have access to the content and you are on campus or have already authenticated to our proxy server as described on our Remote Access Guide.

FindIt! Security Warning in GoogleScholar

Our FindIt! service is currently not working from within GoogleScholar. While we work through this issue with our vendor, please use the citation linker as described below to locate articles within our collection.

Example of error message:

1. View citation information within GoogleScholar
   
2. Navigate to Citation Linker, found on our E-Journal Finder page
   
3. Paste citation information in to Citation Linker and click Find It
   
4. Proceed to Get Article
   

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

New FindIt! from PubMed mobile bookmarklet for iPhone and mobile users

Do you long for the little blue FindIt! icon for full-text when using PubMed's mobile site^[1] on your iPhone or mobile device? Add our experimental bookmarklet to your device's bookmarks.

1. Long-press (right-click) this link and save it to your bookmarks:
   KUMC PubMed FindIt!
2. When you find yourself on a page like http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/24862208 just click the bookmarklet to search the PMID with KUMC Libraries' FindIt!

1. PubMed mobile URLs have an "/m", like http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/24862208

In Google Scholar, the "FindIt @KUMC" link is missing. Will it be coming back?

Links to KUMC-licensed content should be restored in Google by Tuesday 11/25 or Wednesday 11/26. There was a technical issue between Google and the Library's vendor that provides this data. The vendor has fixed the problem and Google Scholar will update their index as scheduled around that time.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
If you have not set KUMC Libraries as one of your Google Scholar Library Links, go to Google Scholar > Settings > Library links. Search for "university of kansas medical center" and any other libraries you have access to.
