Posted by Heather Brown | April 17, 2017

Have you ever found an interesting article online and were faced with a paywall? Now you can quickly find out if there is a version of the article, freely available. The Unpaywall browser extension, compatible with Chrome and Firefox, makes finding these versions quick and easy. It helps you identify open access articles, whether they are the final version of record or a pre or post print. Either way, you get the content for free. Read more about it in the Unpaywall FAQ.

As always, UNMC faculty, students, and staff can search the library’s online journals to access thousands of journals.

Journals and news resources added to the library’s collection

Posted by Heather Brown | January 11, 2017

Through the cooperation and funding assistance from the University of Nebraska Consortium of Libraries (UNCL), the McGoogan Library now has access to more than 3,700 journals from two major publishers: Wiley and Taylor & Francis. Funding for these high-impact, multi-disciplinary journal packages came from student library fees and one-time strategic investment funds from President Bounds.

UNCL is leading the University of Nebraska libraries to increase seamless access to information resources for teaching, learning, and research on all campuses and working to leverage purchasing power for the benefit of the system as a whole.

Our library also benefits from UNCL-funded resources that are of importance to the other campuses. Students and faculty can access the additional new resources funded from the incentive money provided by President Bounds. These include Bloomberg BNA, a database covering business and law news, Access World News, a resource that includes more than 9,000 international news publications and is updated daily, and the archives (1885-1983) of the Omaha World Herald.

Google Scholar full-text workaround

Posted by Heather Brown | December 15, 2015

There are currently problems with the GetIt@UNMC links appearing in Google Scholar. This issue has been reported. A workaround has been developed that will allow you to access the library’s full-text until the problem is fixed.

First, you must have your settings in Google Scholar set for library full-text. See instructions here.

Once you have conducted a search, look for the “More” link, located under the citation on the right-hand side.

A link titled Resources@McGoogan (or Library Search, if you have multiple libraries in your settings) will appear. Click that link to take you to any available library full-text.
