Learn to Search PubMed

Full Text

In PubMed if there is a hyperlink to PubMed Central, the journal article is free to everyone.

Sometimes there is a link to the publisher and you will be prompted to buy the article. Don't do that! Libkey Nomad can route you to full-text if Mason Libraries subscribes to the journal. Be sure to look at the privacy policy to be sure that you agree with it.

If you don't want to use Libkey Nomad, you can check the journal by name by selecting journals from the Mason libraries homepage.

If Mason Libraries doesn't subscribe to the journal, try interlibrary loan.
