Problem A1.2
Solution A1.2

Cannot see the RVEEH logo on journal article
abstracts in PubMed?


The availability of a journal title in the library is designated by the RVEEH logo in the abstracts. However, this is only enabled if you access PubMed through the link on the library homepage or from the Electronic Resources Portal.
Accessing PubMed via Google or from other websites will not display our holdings logo in abstracts.

2.0 External Access
 
Problem 3
Solution 3

Cannot download PubMed full text journal articles from home?


When searching PubMed externally either through the portal or from the direct link on the library homepage, you will not be able to download full text of articles by clicking on the RVEEH logo on the abstracts because seamless access to full text articles via PubMed is only enabled on the hospital network. You will need to write down the citation and retrieve the article via the portal by selecting A-Z Full Text Journals.

B. ELECTRONIC RESOURCES PORTAL

1.0 Searching via the portal within RVEEH

 

Problem 4
Solution 4

Cannot return to the search results screen after
viewing a full text?


When selecting a PubMed search result or any other database search result, you would have technically left the HCN server that hosts the portal and taken to the external server that hosts that particular resource.This is why you will not be able to click on the back arrow to return to your initial search results. You will need to close that external link window (s) to view them again or click on the minimised portal (or Unified Search Engine) window at the base of your screen.

Problem B2 Solution B2

Cannot see the PubMed abstract when returning &
conducting an article search on the Unified Search
Engine (USE) screen?


Unfortunately, your new search page has taken over the PubMed page. This is an issue that the library will resolve with the provider. To view the abstract again, please click on the link in the search result page.
