Outside Tool allows libraries to place a link to their online subscriptions and other holdings information on all PubMed records.

Use My NCBI to find out if your library uses Outside Tool and to set up links on your PubMed results pages.

Once activated, the Outside Tool link will appear on the abstract display of all PubMed records. Click the icon to access the full text (or learn how to access the full text) from your library. [Show Me]
