Changes to affiliated hospital access to Â鶹AV e-resources, starting July 1, 2013
Published: 10 June 2013
Changes as of July 1, 2013
As of July 1st, 2013, access to Â鶹AV electronic databases, e-journals and other e-resources has changed at Â鶹AV affiliated hospital sites in order to comply with the Â鶹AV 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 Â鶹AV as a faculty or staff member, or as a resident or student, you will continue to have access to the full range of Â鶹AV Library e-resources. However, beginning July 1st, 2013:
- You will be asked to enter your Â鶹AV 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 Â鶹AV or if you need information about activating your Â鶹AV email account, please see the FAQs, Nos. 10 and 11 (link below).
- Note: You can easily access Â鶹AV Library e-resources using EZProxy and the appropriate link on the Â鶹AV 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 Â鶹AV as a faculty or staff member, or as a resident or student, please note that you are not authorized to access Â鶹AV 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 Â鶹AV 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 Â鶹AV Life Sciences Library.
