10. Benefits of a MyAccess account:
•Access to the app
•Access to the Q&A feature and prior quiz result scores.
•Notification of new content and new editions of interest to you via the Alerts
feature.
•Save and download image capability, including the ability to download images
directly to PowerPoint.

11. Electronic Journal Finder
eJournal Finder is where you would go if you know the name of the journal
you are interested in accessing or if you are interested in finding out if we
have full text electronic access to a particular journal.
eJournals

12. Ex: NEJM or N Engl J Med will still find it
**Journal Finder is pretty good about
locating titles using the acronym.

13. Because we get license the content
from the publisher we get to take
advantage of the other features on the
site such as the Videos, Interactive
Medical Cases and Audio Summaries
etc.

14. • There are 3 options available:
– Quick Search - main PubMed search screen
– Journals (which you can use to look up full journal titles/acronyms)
– MeSH – Search for Medical Subject Headings
PubMed

15. Sample Search

16. Sample Search to find full text of article:
Preventing Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device
Infections.

17. You should get a list of possible matches, click
on the article title to open the whole record to
get the FindIt button.

18. **The Full text links provided by the Publisher
are deceptive and you will experience varying
degrees of success

19. Journal Finder - will let you know if we
subscribe to that journal electronically
in any of our databases.

20. After each database name, note the date range!
This will determine which of these databases will
have the specific article you need.

21. You can try to find the article yourself based
on the original citation from PubMed, but I
sometimes find it easier (especially when the
article is ePub ahead of print) to search the
database for the title.

22. Sometimes, ClinicalKey requires you to create a personal account to access
certain content but this time, I was able to just click on the PDF and it
automatically downloaded the PDF

23. • Now lets do that again, and pretend that the
article was NOT available electronically using
the Find It button OR the eJournal Finder

24. Sample Search:
Preventing Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device
Infections.

27. If we do not have it
electronically –
Skip to ILL to request it.

28. Previously InterLibrary Loan accounts ware not automatically created for
Clinical Affiliates.
If you are interested in using this service, you will need to contact the
ILL/DocDel office to request that an ILL account be created by phone 954-
262-3120 or by email illhpd@nova.edu
