Using DML Databases and Link Resolver

If there is a subject area you wish to

research, use one of the many DML

databases (ex. PubMed, CINAHL, Ovid

Medline) to obtain a list of citations

and the full text of the article. It is

important to access the databases

using the Dahlgren Memorial Library

website links found listed under the

Clinical Quick Reference, Core

Databases or A-Z Resources list. The

database links are unique to DML and

have an embedded tool, called a link

resolver, to connect you to the full text of articles or other article delivery options. Although many databases

have the full text available immediately by clicking on the PDF or HTML Full Text link you may need to use the

link resolver to pursue further options for obtaining the article. Below are some examples of citations where the

full text is not available immediately within the database.

Example: PubMed

This is an example citation from the

DML version of PubMed Medline.

Once you find a citation for an article,

look to the right hand corner to see

your full text options. Select the Check

for Full Text@ DML icon

to access the

article – this will open a DML Link

resolver window.

There may be two of the Check for Full

Text @ DML buttons – you can select

either one.

You may also see a publisher icon; these icons are provided to PubMed by

publishers. Some lead to the full text of an article and some do not. For that reason, your best option is to use

the blue Check for Full Text @ DML button which brings you to the link resolver and your full text options.



Using DML Databases and Link Resolver (continued)

Example: CINAHL

This is a sample citation from CINAHL.

CINAHL does provide the full text of

some articles directly and, if available,

this would be indicted by a PDF or

HTML full text icon. That option is not

available in this example therefore the

next step is to click on the Check for Full

Text @ DML button.

Example: OVID Medline

This is a sample citation from OVID

Medline. OVID Medline does

provide the full text of some articles

directly and, if available, that would

be indicted by a PDF or HTML full

text icon. That option is not available

in this example therefore the next

step is to click on the Check for Full

Text @ DML button.

The above are a few examples from the many databases available from DML. Within most of the DML

databases look for the Check for Full Text@ DML to see your options for finding the full text of the article.



Using DML Databases and Link Resolver (continued)

Once you have clicked on the Check for Full text @ DML button you’ll be taken to a page similar to the following.

This page is the DML Link Resolver

that will lead you to options for

obtaining the full text article. The

first area to pay attention to is the

listing(s) under GET FULL TEXT FOR

THIS CITATION. If you see this

section click on the link(s) listed to

be taken to the full text. If you see

more than one option listed you can

select any of them.

If you do not see the GET FULL TEXT

FOR THIS CITATION THEN use the

decision tree to select from the

options listed under Get more options

for this citation.



Can’t find the journal article in a DML Subscription?

Search the Lauinger/Main Campus Library Journal Finder

If you do not see the GET FULL TEXT FOR THIS CITATION option generally the next step is to search for the article

in the Lauinger/Main Campus Library Journal Finder. For example, the following journal article citation was not

available directly from a DML subscription.

Leipert, B. D. (2005). Rural

women's health issues in

canada: An overview and

implications for policy and

research. Canadian Woman

Studies, 24(4), 108-116

Click on the Lauinger/Main Campus Journal Finder link from the link resolver page. A search should be

automatically performed for the article.

If the title is offered by one of

the other GU libraries it will be

listed with the dates and

databases available. Click on

the link to be taken to the

online journal where you can

navigate to the article. All

Georgetown affiliated persons,

including anyone from

Georgetown University Medical

Center, can use the resources

of any of the libraries on

campus with the exception of

some law library resources.

GET FULL TEXT FOR THIS CITATION is

not listed for this article



Can’t find in a DML Subscription or Main/Lauinger Library?

Search GEORGE

The GEORGE catalog contains a

listing of all of the print

journal resources owned by

Main Campus and DML

Libraries. If a journal not is

available as an electronic

subscription, try clicking on

the GEORGE: the Georgetown

University Libraries Catalog

link.

If available, information

about the location and

years of the print journal

available to you will

appear.



Can’t find it at DML or Lauinger/Main Campus Library?

Search WRLC

If your journal is not available at any Georgetown University Library, generally the next step is to search the

WRLC Catalog and request via the Consortium Loan Service. WRLC (Washington Research Library Consortium) is

an organization made up of local academic libraries that have agreed to share resources.

For example, the following journal is

not found when searching either DML

or Lauinger/Main Campus Library:

Cohen, H., & Jones, E. G. (1990).

Interpreting for cross-cultural

research: Changing written English to

American sign language. Journal of the

American Deafness and Rehabilitation

Association, 24(2), 41-48.

By clicking Journal holdings in the WRLC

Catalog a search will be completed for

you in the WRLC catalog.

A list of the WRLC partner

libraries which subscribe(d)

to the journal will then

appear. You will most likely

see multiple listings for the

journal title since there will

be an entry for each library

that owns the journal.

Click on the title link to see

more information and

request an article.

Once you click on a link you’ll see more details and often the years owned by the

library. Note the red boxes on the right of the screen in the detailed record. Click on

Request to request the article from the WRLC Consortium Loan Service. You will need

to login using your last name, GOCard number / library barcode and institution. As a

note, if you place a request and the specific article you need is not available at the first

library, your request will automatically go to another library in the consortium.

If you have any problems logging in please contact (202) 687-1448.



Can’t find it at DML, Lauinger/Main Campus Library or WRLC?

Request via DML Interlibrary Loan

If your journal is not listed in the DML Journal Finder or the Lauinger/Main Campus Journal Finder or WRLC the

final option is to request using the Interlibrary Loan Service (called ILLiad). This means that DML, on your behalf,

will request the article from another library internationally. This service is currently free to GUMC students,

residents, and fellows. Policies and delivery estimates can be found on the ILLiad web site.

Click on the DML Interlibrary loan link to have

your citation information pre-loaded into the

ILL request form.

If you have requested an article via DML

ILLiad before, you will login with your

account information. However, if you have

not, you will need to create an account by

following the prompts on the page.

Your citation information should be

transferred to ILLiad from the link resolver

page. If it is not, enter it by using the

Articles link under New Request on the DML

ILLiad page. Enter in as much information

as you have about the article. You will be

contacted by the DML Library if your article

is available or if there are any problems

with your request.



Frequently Asked Questions

I have a citation; do I need to go through a database to find the article?

No, connect to the DML web page and select the Journal Finder link in the upper left hand corner. Search for the

journal title to see if DML has a subscription. More information can be found using the Finding a Journal Article

at Dahlgren Memorial Library decision tree.

Can I use ArticleReach to request an article?

ArticleReach is a service provided to patrons with accounts affiliated with the Main Campus/Lauinger Library.

DML provides article delivery services using the WRLC consortia and DML Interlibrary Loan.

How come I can’t get the most current xx months of the journal?

Some online titles are embargoed by the publisher. This means the online versions are not available in a

database for a certain amount of time (often 1, 3, 6, or 12 months) after publication date. These embargoed

titles are indicated in the DML Journal finder with a small “E” next to the date range. If an

article you need is during the embargoed time please search one of the alternative sources (WRLC, etc.) to check

for access to the article.

Can I just search Google/Google Scholar for the full text of an article?

Google Scholar does offer a tremendous amount of information and searching options for researchers. Please

note some of the articles discovered by Google searches possibly may link to articles posted in violation of

copyright laws. You are responsible for adherence to the US Copyright laws.

The GEORGE catalog indicates an issue is In Storage, how do I request it?

You can request In Storage items via Dahlgren Memorial Library's ILLiad system. Off-campus storage requests

are processed free of charge. You should allow 1 to 3 working days for delivery and will be notified by email

when your article is available.

The one article I need doesn’t seem to be available electronically.

There are times when a specific article from an issue has been withdrawn from the electronic format of a journal

for a variety of reasons. We can attempt to request your article from the print collection of one of our partner

WRLC or Interlibrary Loan Libraries

I can’t login to….

There may be a variety of reasons for the login error; the most common one is that your library account is not

active. Please contact DML (see below) and we can help to troubleshoot the problem.
