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 91ɬÂþ community:

  • Faculty with a 91ɬÂþ ID number
  • Students with a 91ɬÂþ ID number
  • Staff with a 91ɬÂþ ID number
  • Residents with a 91ɬÂþ 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 91ɬÂþ wired or wireless network, or by using computer workstations located in the library.

If you work in one of 91ɬÂþ’s affiliated hospitals and do not have access to 91ɬÂþ Libraries' eResources, there are still several ways to access the information you need.

  1. 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.

  1. Request Materials via Interlibrary Loan

    You can request 91ɬÂþ Libraries materials through your hospital’s interlibrary loan (ILL) service. This allows you to borrow books, articles, and other resources from 91ɬÂþ’s collections.
     
  2. On-Campus Access at 91ɬÂþ

    When visiting 91ɬÂþ’s downtown or Macdonald campuses, you can access 91ɬÂþ Libraries e-resources by:
     
  • Connecting to the 91ɬÂþ wireless network using a personal device, or
  • Using one of the public computer workstations available at any 91ɬÂþ Libraries location. To learn more about the resources available to you, please contact your hospital library.
