Accessing Resources

You have access to journals, ebooks, clinical tools, and databases from anywhere. Use the website of the library you’re associated with and log in with your university credentials when prompted. Connecting with VPN also works. If you have questions, contact your librarian. 

Apps:

You also have access to mobile apps like UpToDate and Visual Dx. Most app access can be set up by starting with your Databases list. From this A-Z list, choose the database you want—You will be asked to log in with your BlazerID and password (unless you are attached to a VPN). After you have gained access, create an individual account. After your account is created, install the app on your cell or other device and log in with the personal account you just created. 

Aquifer
