Due to strict licensing agreements with publishers, off-campus access to most electronic library resources such as databases, full text electronic journals and textbooks, as well as other online services are restricted to the following members of the ɬÀï·¬ community:
- Faculty with a ɬÀï·¬ ID number
- Students with a ɬÀï·¬ ID number
- Staff with a ɬÀï·¬ ID number
- Residents with a ɬÀï·¬ ID number
NB Any individual who is on campus (downtown or Macdonald) will be able to access most library e-resources without having to authenticate, either by connecting to the ɬÀï·¬ wired or wireless network, or by using computer workstations located in the library.
If you work in one of ɬÀ﷬’s affiliated hospitals and do not have access to ɬÀï·¬ Libraries' eResources, there are still several ways to access the information you need.
- Use Hospital-Licensed eResources
You may have access to eResources that are licensed specifically for use by your hospital or department. Check with your hospital library or information services for details.
- Request Materials via Interlibrary Loan
You can request ɬÀï·¬ Libraries materials through your hospital’s interlibrary loan (ILL) service. This allows you to borrow books, articles, and other resources from ɬÀ﷬’s collections.
- On-Campus Access at ɬÀï·¬
When visiting ɬÀ﷬’s downtown or Macdonald campuses, you can access ɬÀï·¬ Libraries e-resources by:
- Connecting to the ɬÀï·¬ wireless network using a personal device, or
- Using one of the public computer workstations available at any ɬÀï·¬ Libraries location. To learn more about the resources available to you, please contact your hospital library.
Please contact the Office of the Vice-President of Research and Innovation (VPRI) with any questions about access.
