4. Logging on to HINARI 1 Before logging into PubMed, we can Login to the HINARI website using the URL http://www.who.int/hinari/

5. Logging into HINARI 2 We will need to enter our HINARI User Name and Password in theappropriate boxes, then click on the Login button. Note: If you do not properly sign on, you will not have access to full text articles.

6. Remember - if you fail to use the Login page, you will have a second option on the Full text journals, databases, and other resources sub-page.

7. Main HINARI webpage Once you are logged in from the main HINARI webpage, access PubMed by clicking on Search HINARI journal articles through PubMed (Medline).

8. Preview/Index 1 Click on the Preview/Index tab on the toolbar below the query box on the main PubMed page.

9. Preview/Index 2 Preview/Index will show the last three search terms.

10. Preview/Index 3 For the last three results, you can view the time of the search and number of results. If you click on the Results hypertext link, you will go the results of the search.

11. Preview/Index 4 In this example we will query the index for the term Nigeria. Click on the Index button.

12. Preview/Index 5 Results of the Index query are displayed in the box. Each occurrence of the term is listed with the number of articles listed in parentheses.

13. Preview/Index 6 To select from the list, click on each term as required. To make multiple selections, hold down the Ctrl key. Click on the AND, OR, NOT button to send the term to the main PubMed query box.

14. Preview/Index 7 For the example, we will chose Nigeria/Epidemiology (3692) from the Index list.

15. Preview/Index 8 Click on Go and we see that we have 3692 articles with Nigeria/epidemiology in the record.

16. History 1 PubMed allows users to view previous searches through the History page. To access this page, click on the History tab on the bar below the main PubMed query box.

17. History 2 To build a search using History, begin by putting in your broadest search term. In this example, we will use public health as our main concept.

18. History 3 The result for the public health search is 4 million articles. These can be viewed as a search set by clicking on the History tab.

19. History 4 On the History page, our first set is given a set number identified by the # symbol - in this example it is #1. On the right side of the page the number of articles is shown under the Result column.

20. History 6 We can now search for malaria as a second search term from within the PubMed query box. As in the previous result, the malariasearch also can be viewed by returning to the History page.

21. History 7 The malaria search has now been given a set number #2. The number of articles in the set is shown on the right side of the page.

22. History 8 To combine public health with malaria, we can use the set numbers. To combine using AND, enter the search statement #1 AND #2.

23. Using the Options drop down menu, you also can combine terms by entering your new search term, clicking on a previous # plus the AND option. The current search term and the # chosen will becombined.

24. History 9 By combining #1 AND #2, we now have 18313 articles with the concepts public health AND malaria. Click on the link to return to History.

25. History 10 Our search #1 AND #2 is now identified as #3.

26. History 11 We can narrow our search down further by combining our #3 (public health and malaria) with Africa or using the Options drop down menu.

27. History 12 The search has narrowed the results down further to 6424 articles. Click on the link to return to the History page.

28. History 13 Set #4 now is public health AND malaria AND Africa.

29. History 14 To clear these searches, click on Clear History button.

30. Linking to full text 1 We now will discuss accessing full-text articles. Enter the search chloroquine resistance.

31. Linking to full text 2 Here the results default to the Summary display with a total of 3700 citations.

32. Linking to full text 3 Change the display to Abstract from the drop down menu.

33. Linking to full text 4 From the Abstract display, links to full text publishers resources are shown near the top of the record.

34. Linking to full text 5 When you arrive at the article on the publishers’ site, you can confirm access via the address or url search box of the web browser. If properly authenticated, you will see a URL that begins with: hinari-gw.who.int/whalecommwww...

35. Linking to full text 6 You will see options to access the Full Text article - generally HTML or PDF formats. In this example, if you select the full text link, you will get the full article in HTML format that includes links to sections of the article, bibliographic citations or related articles. If you select the PDF or Portable Document Format, you will receive a scanned image of the article. The next example is the PDF version that is similar to traditional print option .

36. Full text PDF documents Here is a PDF document. To download a PDF document, you will need a copy of the Adobe Acrobat program which can be download freely from the Adobe website: http://www.adobe.com

37. Linking to full text 4 Full-text Article Access Problems HINARI/PubMed access to the full-text articles is based on PubMed’s ‘Link Out’ software. Some publishers do not use this option while others may not allow access to the oldest issues. These links are noted with the publishers' or HINARI buttons – near the top of each record.

38. In this example, we are attempting to access an article from the Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health. Although HINARI users should have access to this journal, we will use this as an example of ‘what could go wrong.’

39. The publisher has not authorized access and has requested LOGIN or purchase. Note: Your HINARI institutional ‘User ID/Password’ will not work.

40. Accessing journals by title 1 If you are unable to access an article from a journal via the ‘Link Out’ icons in HINARI/PubMed, double check this by going to the title in the ‘Journals by title A-Z’ list and also verify the years of volumes available.

41. When viewing any page of the Journals by title A-Z list, the green box notes if your institution has access to the contents of the journal. The ! notes that your institution is denied access (predominantly Band 2 although some Band 1). If you are denied access to a full-text article despite the green box, follow the instructions in the next slide. Note that the ‘years of volumes’ available are listed after the journal title.

42. To confirm that you have used the institutional User Name and Password correctly, check that you have the ‘You are logged in’ message. This also is confirmed in the address or URL search box of the web browser. If properly ‘authenticated’, you will see a URL that begins with: hinari-gw/who.int/whalecomm...

43. Double check that you have completed the HINARI LOGIN.  If this is not the problem, notify HINARI staff (hinari@who.int) so that they can communicate with the Publisher and resolve the problem. This example is an email received from a HINARI user in Uganda. Note:make sure you include your institutional User Name, the name of the journal(s) and other details. Also include a screen capture that contains the URL (Internet address) of the journal (seen next slide).

44. This is the example of the screen capture that was attached to the email message for hinari@who.int For the JEM article, it noted that This item requires a subscription. The publisher requested that the user Sign in (User Name and Password for individual subscription) or Purchase Short-Term Access. Note:this screen capture includes the URL of the journal. This information is invaluable to the HINARI staff who will try to resolve the access problem. You can create a screen capture by clicking on the Print Screen key while viewing the webpage of the journal.  Then paste (edit/paste or control/v) the material into a word processing document and send as an attachment.

45. This additional screen capture notes that the journal is listed on the J page of the Journals by Title A-Z list, that the requested journal issue is available and that, by the green box, the institution should have access to the journal. If the HINARI authentication system had worked properly, the user would have had access to the journal article.

46. HINARI Subset 1 PubMed have created a subset of journals for HINARI. To access this subset, enter loprovhinari[sb] in the query box and click on the Go button. Note: This subset and the free full text[sb] one are similar to the MyNCBI filters used to create the HINARI and Free full text tabs that are displayed after a HINARI/PubMed search.

47. HINARI Subset 2 The results of the HINARI subset search is access to over 5 Million full text articles. The HINARI tab also has this number and over 1.2 Million also are listed as Free full text.

48. HINARI Subset 3 Articles made available through HINARI will display the HINARI icon next to the publishers’ link. You must use the Abstract, Abstract Plus or Citation display of PubMed.

49. HINARI Subset 4 If we enter the search loprovhinari[sb] AND tuberculosis, we will have full text access to all 11908 articles in the result set. Again, the same number is in the HINARI tab and over 6000 also are listed as Free full text.

50. Free full text Subset 1 PubMed has also created a free full text[sb] subset and these articles are available to anyone with access to PubMed.
