The problem with the UC-eLinks button from missing PubMed search results has been resolved. However, correcting the problem required a change to the special URL that UC patrons use to access PubMed. The new URL for UC’s access to PubMed is listed below:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?otool=cdlib&tool=cdl

The Shared Cataloging Program (SCP) will update the existing PID with this new URL. All links on campus websites to PubMed should be updated to use the new URL and those who have bookmarked the previous PubMed URL (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?tool=cdl&otool=cdlotool) should update their bookmarks.

Please share this information with your colleagues.

Subject: CDLALERT: PubMed search results currently do not include UC-eLinks button
Importance: High

Normally, the UC campuses use a special URL for PubMed which automatically displays the UC-eLinks button in the search results records to easily link to the online article (if applicable), to check the print journal holdings on a campus, or to request the article via Interlibrary Loan (ILL) services.
