Re: New PubMed

Hello,

Just want to share an update. In the end, I just added the new URL as a HJ
and will switch it as the main URL once PubMed officially turn off the
legacy version.

The problem turned out was due to the fact that users clicked on the link to
the new PubMed from the banner on the legacy PubMed. The link from the
legacy PubMed, of course, does not have the "otool=msulib" string that would
indicate access from our institution. Hence the missing LinkOut button for
our users.

Until PubMed ceases the legacy site, we just have to give our patrons the
correct URL to the new PubMed.


thanks,
ranti.
