PubMed comprises of citations for biomedical journal articles from MEDLINE (or queued to be included in MEDLINE in the future), other life science journals, and selected medical books.
The Stan State library link adds a code (?otool=cacsuslib) to tell PubMed to add a Find It! link to let you access Stan State library subscriptions or an Interlibrary Loan request form for an article.

PubMed Full Text Links

Links to the Full Text (PDF) of articles are found in the upper-right of a PubMed article record
Type of links:
