Localizing PubMed
• Connecting users to local library services directly from PubMed “localizes” the PubMed display.
• Combine linking features to localize PubMed for your users:– LinkOut– Document Delivery Service– Outside Tool
Point to Local Resources
• Document Delivery Service – order articles directly from a local document delivery service.
• Outside Tool – a link on every PubMed record. Used to access full-text through a local service.
Example
• University of California, Riverside, uses LinkOut, Outside Tool, and Document Delivery Service
