Step-by-Step: Connect PubMed to the BC Cancer Library journals
New PubMed does not automatically find full text links from BC Cancer Library. Check if you are logged into a personal account at the top right:
Log in or create a personal account - an ORCid is a good option. Then go to the My NCBI Dashboard:
From the My NCBI Dashboard, choose Site Preferences:
Look down the list of preferences and click Outside Tool to choose from the alphabetical list of institutions.
You may link to five institutions in PubMed. Click the letter B to find and select BC Cancer, then the Save button.
Return to PubMed (link is at the bottom of the page under "Popular"). The BC Cancer icon will now appear when viewing the abstract of any article. This setting will be saved for you on any computer, if you are logged into your account on PubMed.
When the BC Cancer icon is clicked, Full Text Finder will check for our journal subscriptions. If nothing is found, you will be offered Google Scholar, or a form to request an interlibrary loan (requests@bccancer.bc.ca).
