10. 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

11. Ex: nejm or N Engl J Med will still find it
**Journal Finder if pretty good about
locating titles using the acronym.

12. 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.

13. • 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

14. • We license the Medline content through several
other database vendors, Ebsco, Proquest, Embase,
Web of Science etc, but PubMed is a great place to
start if you have a piece of information ie:
citation/article title/author and you want to verify
the citation and find out if we have access to the full
text.

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.
Embargo: means that database will not allow
access to the full text of that journal for this most
recent period of time.

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

24. InterLibrary Loan accounts are 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 (or
reinstated) by phone 954-262-3120 or by email illhpd@nova.edu
