Pubget - Quick Access to PDFs

The Library recently joined Pubget (http://pubget.com), a search engine that displays the PDFs of articles directly beside your search results. In order to be able to view articles the Library subscribes to, you must first set your subscriptions to “Henry Ford Hospital” from the drop down list on Pubget’s main page. When using Pubget off-campus, you must also choose HFH as your institution and log-in with your remote access ID/password. While the search engine is not nearly as robust as PubMed’s, and there are still some glitches in its ability to access all of Sladen’s subscriptions; if you just need a few quick articles, you may want to give Pubget a try and save yourself a couple clicks of the mouse.
