Usage

How to get the full-text?

Pubmed contains both Open Access articles as well as links to paid databases. By using the special link on this page, a START button is placed near every search result. When you click on this, you directly go to the full-text of an article, when available! When this isn't the case, you get the WorldCat Linkresolver page. Here you can request the article by ILL by using the Request button. When using Google to go to PubMed, you might not get a START button
