Google scholar and Pubmed
Is anyone having issues searching the McMaster journal database with Google Scholar and Pubmed? The 'Get it at Mac' link no longer shows up for me.

I had a problem on friday. Same thing, but the e-books were working. Google scholar was still working, but for some reason the mcmaster e-library was really slow and I wasn't able to see articles that I read the day before. The next day everything was back to normal

Messes up a few things, but nbd... probably pissing off a LOT of people though!
Imagine having research to do, and you can't get said research... at all. And all your doing is like a thesis for the semester... :O

Really? In the past if they DIDN'T have a subscription to something you could ask and they would get it. Weird.

The "Get it at Mac" link isn't there for me either, but you can just log into libaccess and click on Google Scholar from the webpage that comes up after you log in. Just click on the main link for articles you want to view and it should allow you to view them, it does for me. Not sure if every article is accessible though.
