Q. Easier access to scientific journals

I rely on easy access to journals like NEJM, JAMA, BMJ, JCI to stay up to date with current trends. However I find it difficult to access these journals through the library website, and I wish there was a list of popular/common journals that I could click through, rather than have to search individually through the 'database' tab or directly navigating to their respective websites and hoping we have access. Please let me know if this would be possible, and what I can do to help make it happen?

Hello,

We are currently working on changing the layout to better reflect the most needed resources and services. There are also a few options currently available to you to make your life a little easier:

1) In our catalog, 1. sign in with your OHSU credentials and 2. pin the entries for the journals that fit your interests so that they appear under "favorites."

2) Use a 3rd party app like QxMD or UCentral. These apps can be connected to the OHSU Library subscriptions, and you can favorite journals or get alerts regarding new entries tailored to your specific interests.

To set up full text access in QxMD, select "Institutional Access," search for "Oregon Health & Science University," and select "Automatic Login Using OHSU Login in" (OHSU does not subscribe to QxMD, but this will allow you to access Library resources via the app).

3) Install our bookmarklet to log in via your browser on the journal's website: see instructions in the FAQ, "How can I access OHSU Library online resources when I am not on OHSU campus?"

Best,

Paul
