FULL TEXT ACCESS DURING COVID-19

Hi everyone, during the COVID-19 stay at home order, accessing full text is a bit weirder than usual.

1. DISCONNECT FROM PULSE SECURE. I know this is incredibly frustrating, especially since a lot of you use Pulse for your other work tasks.

2. Use LibKey when you are in PubMed and Google Scholar. This does not always work, however.

3. Use the DOI or PMID in the Citation Finder (video demo above) to access full text.

4. If all else fails, email me and we will figure it out.

Thank you for being understanding during this time.

This subject guide highlights general resources for veterinary medicine available at CSU.

It covers how to find and access books (print and electronic) and journals / journal articles (print and electronic). It also covers recommended databases for veterinary medicine, how to search them, and how to access full text.
