He will try to provide full text artilces to the doctors from Pakistan who are other wise not able to access the full text online. The rules of the game will be as follows
1. No more than 3 requests per
week will be entertrained
2. Only 5-10 articles per week per ID will be provided
3. only articles with full citations mentioned will be sent and
requests like " articles on stroke" or articles on cholecystitis" will not be
entertained
4. Doctors who benefit from this service are requsted to either print
these articles and keep them in their institutions library or place
them in a computer accessable to other doctors
5.In case of many requests you might have to wait
He will try his best to get the full text but no guarantees are given
Please send your citations and requests at this address

Re: Full text article offer
I must appreciate the offer that you have made.I find it diffcult to look for full text articles as they usually require subscription.thank you very much for the effort..

Full text article offer
It has been six months now that my colleague in USA came up with this offer of providing articles to colleagues in Pakistan who are unable to get their hands on full text...... But it was very surprising to see that even after six months we have only recieved requests from two doctors only( a total of four requests)..... On one end we keep cribbing about the poor state of library services in Pakistan and on the other hand we are happy just to read the abstracts on medline and quote them without reading the full text.....and do not make any effort to get hold of full text... so if somebody is interested and cannot arrange an article he/she may write to us on the address given above and as per the instructions mentioned
regards
Rathore

Re: Full text article offerI think if I add a small banner highlighting "free full text article offer" on the PakMediNet, probably that might help. What do you think?

Re: Full text article offer
Dr Rathore i do accept that i did not see the post otherwise i am in much need of full text articles,i have sent the request to the email adress you have mentioned,and i agree that if people even after reading the post have not contacted the person for full text articles,it is indeed annoying.
Thank you for the effort ,and please keep up the good work.

Re: Re: Full text article offer
Sorry ...you will note that this offer was made in 2006 and is not valid now...But i do have some contacts and will ask them for help...
I will try to track down the full text but you have to provide the Full article title , Journal and Year of Publication.
Moreover since you are based in Islamabad so i would recommend that you visit CPSP Islamabad office and try to track it down through their digital library
Regards
