The National Library of Medicine (NLM) has announced an upcoming change in the behavior of library icons displayed in PubMed search results beginning September 2019:
- Previous behavior - the TTUHSC Online and/or TTUHSC InPrint icons are displayed only on records where TTUHSC has full-text access. The absence of these icons denotes that we do not have full-text access (screen shot 1 below).
- New behavior - the old TTUHSC Online and/or TTUHSC InPrint icons will be replaced with a single, new Check TTUHSC icon. This new icon will be inserted into every PubMed record, irrespective of whether TTUHSC has full-text access or not (screen shot 2 below). Clicking the icon will query LibKey Link and/or GoldRush to determine if we have full-text access. If we do not have full-text access, you can autofill our Interlibrary Loan form.
This change means that users will no longer immediately know if TTUHSC has full-text access, but will need to click the "Check TTUHSC" icon to discover if we have full-text access.
