Changes to affiliated hospital access to ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ e-resources, starting July 1, 2013

Published: 10 June 2013

Changes as of July 1, 2013

As of July 1st, 2013, access to ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ electronic databases, e-journals and other e-resources has changed at ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ affiliated hospital sites in order to comply with the ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ Library's licensing agreements.  Access to these electronic resources now  depends on your status; only persons affiliated with the University can  access these services.

  • If you are affiliated with ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ as a faculty or staff member, or as a resident or student, you will continue to have access to the full range of ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ Library e-resources. However, beginning July 1st, 2013:
    • You will be asked to enter your ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ username and password, using the format firstname.lastname [at] mcgill.ca, or firstname.lastname [at] mail.mcgill.ca. If you are unsure whether or not you are affiliated with ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ or if you need information about activating your ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ email account, please see the FAQs, Nos. 10 and 11 (link below).
    • Note: You can easily access ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ Library e-resources using EZProxy and the appropriate link on the ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ Library website, available on the Health, biological sciences subject guides. Please refer to the EZProxy FAQ page for general information about the use of EZProxy.
  • If you are not affiliated with ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ as a faculty or staff member, or as a resident or student, please note that you are not authorized to access ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ Library e-resources, as per the licensing agreements with the vendors. Therefore, beginning July 1, you will no longer be able to access them. However, as is currently the case:
    • You may request ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ materials via the hospital’s inter-library loan service.
    • You also have access to the e-resources licensed for use by the hospital and/or your unit.

For more details, see the list of Frequently Asked Questions.

To learn more about the resources available to you, please contact your hospital librarian or the ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ Life Sciences Library.
