Himmelfarb Library offers a variety of databases and search platforms to users for the discovery of scholarly literature and full-text services. We’ve recently made some changes to streamline full-text options in EBSCO research databases including CINAHL, Ovid MEDLINE, and Scopus using ThirdIron’s LibKey linking services. 

When you select Full-text options @ Himmelfarb, a window providing options to either open a PDF directly or view the article on the journal platform website will display.

If the article has been retracted or withdrawn, LibKey’s retraction alert services will display a warning and links for further information.

In the event that the content you want is not open access and Himmelfarb Library does not have a subscription, you will be passed through to Health Information @ Himmelfarb, the library catalog, to request document delivery services for the item through Documents2Go

EBSCO databases, like CINAHL, and Scopus include additional full-text options when content is available open access or when we subscribe to the content directly with them. In Scopus, you will frequently see a View PDF button in the results.

In EBSCO,  the Access options button allows a similar selection of direct PDF or full-text on the provider’s website.

For the best linking experience, we recommend launching literature searching services from the Himmelfarb website. The most used services are in the Popular Resources box at left, and you can access a full list of available databases with the All Databases link there.

We also recommend installation of the LibKey Nomad browser extension to find Himmelfarb full-text wherever you are on the web!
