From: Collette Mak <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2016 07:37:02 -0400 I agree, our library search experiences can be more annoying than helpful. If you aren't already using Google Scholar you may want to try that. (scholar.google.com) If the content is available immediately through an institutional repository or similar service there will be a link to the PDF. I can't speak for your institution but at Notre Dame our linking software presents the "find text" button on content we own or license. I generally suggest that our freshman comp students start with Google Scholar because it has all the forgiving features of Google and links to our content. They're going to use Google anyway so why not use the good Google?! I would so very much like publishers to know what content we have licensed and let our users go directly to the article. If they want people to use legally (if ruinously priced) licensed content over pirate sites you'd think they'd make a bigger effort to make that legally licensed content more easily available.
