Full Text Locator missing in Pumerantz Library Discovery Service & EBSCO databases

UPDATE: The Full Text Locator button is back. 12/12/24 6:50 am

Our Full Text Locator is missing in the Pumerantz Library Discovery Service (results from the search box on library homepage) and the EBSCO databases. This is the drop down box that says "Access options". We have contacted the vendor and hope to have it working again soon. In the meantime, you can follow the below instructions to find the materials you need.

  • If the resource is an ebook, you can click on the title and scroll down to the "Online Access" link at the bottom of the page. 
  • If the resource is a journal article, you will have to use the search box on the homepage and use the drop-down menu to select "EJournals" and search for the journal name. 
    • If we have access, once on the journal page, navigate to the volume, issue, and page of the article. 
    • If we do not have access, you can submit a request in ILLiad.

Databases like PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science are not affected and will still have the Full Text Locator as usual.

EBSCO databases affected:

  • Academic Search Elite
  • Alt HealthWatch
  • Business Source Elite
  • CINAHL
  • Health Source: Consumer Edition
  • Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition
  • Newspaper Source
  • Regional Business News
  • PsycInfo

We will update this blog when the problem has been fixed.
