Finding Full Text
There are three quick ways to download research articles: through our databases, by using LibKey Nomad, and via the Discover search box on our Library homepage.
Databases
The best way to find full text within a database (such as PubMed) is to use the Geisinger Library Article Linker button. It appears next to titles in the search results when you log in to the database from the library’s homepage (and therefore it can access our journal subscriptions).
Click the Geisinger Library button to see if full text is available.
- If the full text article is available, the PDF should open directly.
- If the PDF does not open within your browser window, check your browser's downloads folder.
- Occasionally, you are taken to a LibKey page. Under Full Text Format Options, click on ARTICLE LINK in the purple display box.
- If we do not have access to the full text, you will be taken to our Interlibrary Loan Form. Add your personal details and click SEND. We will process your request and, if it’s available, email you the PDF, typically two days or less.
LibKey Nomad
An alternative to clicking the Geisinger Library button is to install LibKey Nomad. This is a browser extension that provides instant links to full text articles within database search results. Learn more about LibKey Nomad.
Library Search
If you are looking for a specific article, you can search for it in our Discover search. Enter the article title into the search box. If you do not see your article in the results list, you can order it through the Interlibrary Loan form.
Off Campus Access
To get the Geisinger Library Article Linker button to appear while off campus, use any of the following options:
1. Use a link from the database list on the homepage under Databases A-Z.
2. Set up your PubMed My NCBI account and designate Geisinger Library in the Outside Tool option.
