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 91ÉçÇø community:

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

If you work in one of 91ÉçÇø’s affiliated hospitals and do not have access to 91ÉçÇø 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.
