RefWorks now has full text links!

Have you used RefWorks recently?  If not, check it out soon.  You will now see the Ovid LinkSolver icon in the main viewing area right next to View and Edit.  Clicking on this icon will present you with links to the full-text article or to Pegasus, for print-only journals or sometimes both.  Remember this only works for journals to which we have a subscription.  The following message may also appear: “There are no links associated with the above citation.”  LinkSolver does not work for book chapters and it will also not work if the ISSN field is missing from the article citation.
