Some PubMed Links to Full Text not Working from Off-Campus

For several weeks now some of some of the full text links in PubMed records have not been working properly. This is only a problem for those who use PubMed from off-campus.

The Full text for Illinois link continues to work properly, but other links to full text do not.

Read more about this, and what you can do to get to the full text from PubMed articles that are not displaying the Full text of Illinois link:

Aside: When accessing PubMed from off-campus, be sure to use the U of Illinois URL for PubMed:

If you would like to be notified when this problem is resolved, please drop me a note. (florador@illinois.edu)
