Subject: Sources for free full-text medical articles (MEDLIB-L ILL's)
Dear Medlibbers,
I would like to share this checklist for finding free full text medical
articles (of special interest for low-budget libraries):
1. PubMed Central (for Latin American articles in Spanish and Portuguese,
check the Scientific Electronic Library Online, at
<http://www.scielo.org>
2. Local holdings, including online databases the library has access to.
3. Google Advanced Search (I've got better results than Google Scholar for
this purpose. At the Exact Phrase box, type several words of the title in
exact order).
4. Check
<http://www.freemedicaljournals.com>
5. Check the journal's webpage even though it may not be a free-access
journal, because sometimes they have free issues for promotional purposes
(more than once I found the article I was looking for in the only free
issue available!)
6. Find the author's email address and just ask for the article. Most of
the time the email address is listed in the Abstract Display along with
the author's affiliation. If the email address is not listed try the
affiliated institution webpage.
If somebody else knows of other source of free medical articles, please
add it to the list, so we can have a "cooperative checklist" and benefit
from others colleages's experience.
My two cents from the South (of the world). HTH,
Doris Samojluk
