EBSCO and Science Direct Access Problems

The Resource Management Department is working on resolving access issues involving some EBSCO databases.

The graphic on the left column, displays the results you may get when attempting to access journals in the EBSCO databases.
  
And, in Science Direct, users aren't prompted for their library usernames and passwords when they try to get to full text articles using either the A to Z list, or the Science Direct link in the databases list. However, users have been successfully accessing full text articles in Science Direct going through our PubMed link.

Technical Access Support personnel for both publisher sites have been contacted and we are hoping to have these issues resolved soon.

Questions? please contact us via chat, e-mail, text or phone at: http://askus.library.tmc.edu/

Thank you for your patience.

Articles from Science Classic Available Via JSTOR

Full-text access to Science Classic articles from 1880 - 1996, are available at the TMC Library via the JSTOR platform.

Science Classic provides access to the digitized full text archives of Science from its first issue in 1880 through 1996.  Go to the JSTOR Science landing page.

Please note that full-text articles in Science Classic from 1880 to 1996 are not directly accessible from within the Science platform. 

 

Direct access from the publisher site (AAAS) requires purchase of the archives plus an annual maintenance fee.  Within JSTOR, the Library retains freely available full text access to Science Classic.

New England Journal of Medicine and Nature iPad Applications

Want to use your iPad to access e-journals?

New England Journal of Medicine and Nature now offer an application that allows users to browse journal abstracts via their iPad.

Please note that although the app download is free, access to full text on your mobile device is not. Access to full text on your mobile device requires a payment of a monthly fee to the publisher.

Note: Even though the Texas Medical Center Library has a subscription to these journals, access to full text content with an iPad is not available with your TMC login. Currently, the publishers of these journals do not allow The TMC Library to provide full text access as part of our subscription fees.
