• The Libraries are happy to announce the development of a new service: Clink. It's designed to help researchers move quickly from a citation in an online database to the full-text version of the article (in electronic or print format). Look for the red Clink icon on the results page of many of Clark's citation databases, e.g. PsycINFO, Geobase,  EconLit, etc. This button opens a page with links to resources that contain the article, e.g. JSTOR, Project Muse, InfoTrac, etc , or further information about where to obtain the article or book. The technology used in Clink's implementation is new and is based on still developing formal standards, but we are sure that you fill find it a useful and productive research tool.
