PubMed is a free bibliographic database. If you have searched PubMed and located a citation of interest, check for full-text icons in the upper right corner of the display above the references. Some full-text articles may be free, but most items require a subscription.

When you use the special UB VU link to PubMed you will find a VU link button.   Click on this button to see if the article is available.

Tip: install the Lean Library browser extension on your computer, which allows you to use automatic digital content from the University Library and Open Access content to track your literature.
