Dentistry: Access to Journal Articles

Accessing Dental Journals

Currently we have two electronic journal databases : (1) GoldRush and (2 )Browzine.  The library also has an extension tool called LibKey Nomad. The LibKey Nomad tool is available through several browsers.  Libkey Nomad will identify articles we subscribe to when searching the web.  Libkey Nomad provides the convenience of finding articles by not having to go through GoldRush or Browzine.  

To find electronic articles, search Browzine or Goldrush if PDF or html is not available within database.  If unable to locate article, please use our interlibrary loan service.

What Is Gold Rush?

GoldRush is the TTUHSC El Paso library catalog of online journal subscriptions. GoldRush knows about publishers, journal titles, years, months, volumes, issues and page numbers. GoldRush does not know about article titles, keywords, concepts or topics.
The Libraries of the Health Sciences Electronic Journals are accessible through:

About Interlibrary Loan/ Document Delivery

Walk-In Interlibrary Loan / Document Delivery Services
The Library no longer accepts walk-in, email, faxed, or printed interlibrary loan or document delivery requests. All requests for articles, books, audiovisuals, etc. need to be requested via ILLiad.
Computers are available at each library location for patrons to log in to their ILLiad account. 
Library staff are happy to assist patrons in creating an ILLiad account.

Online Interlibrary Loan / Document Delivery Services

Service is available to all TTUHSC El Paso library card holders requiring books, photocopies of journal articles, or audiovisuals not available at the library.
 

Interlibrary Loan and Required Textbooks
If you need a textbook for a class, we do not recommend that you request this book through Interlibrary Loan. ILL staff cannot guarantee when books will arrive, and the loan period may not last for the entire semester.  Furthermore, many libraries do not purchase textbooks (or are unwilling to lend textbooks to other libraries); as a result, most ILL requests for textbooks must be canceled. 

Notification, Pickup , and Payment - Interlibrary Loan

  • Patrons are notified by email when items are ready for pickup.
  • Filled article requests are uploaded to patron's ILLiad account.
  • If the request cannot be filled, patron will be notified.
  • Pickup for books and audiovisuals is at the circulation counter.
  • Credit/debit card payment is required at pickup unless a departmental account number is provided on the request.

What's the difference between Browzine and GoldRush?

Browzine and GoldRush both search by journal title, but they have some differences:

  • GoldRush is the authoritative database of all TTUHSC journal subscriptions. However, the search interface is antiquated, not mobile-friendly, and lacks search suggestions and autocomplete.
  • Browzine has a modern, mobile-friendly search interface, including search suggestions. However, Browzine search results might lag GoldRush by 30 days.

We recommend using Browzine first, then use GoldRush if BrowZine does not yield expected results.
