PubMed has identified a persistent EZProxy issue affecting off-campus access. The issue is related to a Cloudflare complication impacting reCAPTCHA functionality. As a result, we have removed the EZProxy link to PubMed.

When accessing articles from PubMed off-campus, please use the “Find It – UTSW Library” article links as opposed to the publisher links. This will direct you to the LibKey link for the article, which can then be accessed successfully through EZProxy.

Alternatively, you may access PubMed resources by connecting through VPN.

The Library has launched accessible academic poster templates in response to the federal accessibility mandate, aiming to remove longstanding barriers in scholarly communication. Designed with features like high-contrast color schemes and structured reading order, the templates enable researchers of all abilities to present their work more inclusively without sacrificing visual rigor. The initiative not only ensures compliance but signals a broader shift toward universal design as a baseline standard in academic publishing.
