PubMed Link
An agreement between EBSCO Publishing and PubMed, the National Library of Medicine's (NLM) biomedical literature database, has enabled EBSCO to provide full text for PubMed. Eligible users can link from PubMed records to corresponding full text in EBSCOhost biomedical databases, including the Biomedical Reference Collections and Nursing & Allied Health Collections.

EBSCO Publishing also offers complete LinkOut setup assistance—a PubMed feature that provides links from PubMed bibliographic records to relevant Web-accessible online resources—and further technical support to libraries that want to represent their EBSCO holdings in PubMed. This allows seamless linking from PubMed to corresponding articles in those EBSCOhost full-text databases to which a library subscribes. Some administrative maintenance is necessary if libraries want only active links to appear to their users. However, EBSCO can facilitate this linking so libraries will not need to enter and maintain information pertaining to their EBSCO subscription on their own.

EBSCO Publishing's setup assistance and technical support will be limited to EBSCOhost full-text databases. Libraries willing to establish links to other information providers will have to use the Library LinkOut File Submission Utility provided by NLM and contact the PubMed LinkOut team for further assistance.
 

The British Library
The British Library's ArticlesDirect service is intended for individuals and organizations with only an occasional need for documents and who prefer the simplicity of ordering articles without registration. ArticlesDirect will soon be followed by the release of ARTWeb, The British Library's document order form for registered customers.

The links to document delivery services are made available via EBSCOadmin, so each library can decide if ArticlesDirect is an appropriate service to offer to its end-users. Once activated, this functionality works similarly to other EBSCO ILS links. Libraries can choose to display links to The British Library on every applicable search result or only when full text is not available. At the library's discretion, the system could look for full text in EBSCOhost databases, e-journal collections, and other local holdings prior to alerting a user to the fact that an article can be purchased via any of the affiliated document delivery services.
