Trials and Tribulations of finding full-text articles in the NHS

By

 We know that getting to the full-text of an article can sometimes throw up unexpected errors. The complicated nature of multiple resources all linking together means that there are a lot of moving parts that all need to work together seamlessly. 

Here are some of the common issues that we come across: 


Too many results returned on the NHS Knowledge & Library Hub 

The NHS Hub can return thousands of items from a search. Use the filter options on the results page to focus your results and get the article you need. 

ePub ahead of Print availability 

ePub ahead of print refers to articles that are published ahead of the next expected issue. There can be problems with their availability. 

Problems accessing NHS Resources on the Keele Network 

We know that some of our NHS users also use the Keele network. We have encountered problems with some NHS resources which are affected by the network. There are steps you can take to try to work round this issue. 

Browzine article not found on platform error 

We have noticed that an error can occur when new journal issues are released. Whilst very frustrating, this is temporary and short-lived. 

Working with multiple resources from multiple organisations 

We usually advise you to make the most of all the resources that are available to you; whether from the NHS, a university or a society. You need to be aware that there are some complications you will need to work around if doing this.
