This guide is designed to help you find the resources you need. Please contact us if you have any questions, comments or suggestions.

This getting started packet details how to access eBooks, electronic journals, databases, and library help from on or off campus.

Here are some links to get you started.

VPN stands for “Virtual Private Network.” This means that if you log in using a VPN, you are connecting to the University in a secure way.

If you're using the Lion operating system, an iPad, an iPod, or an iPhone to connect to University resources from off campus, follow this link to set up a VPN (virtual private network)

1.  Access the library home page at http://library.med.utah.edu/

2.  Click the Off Campus Access button on the right-hand side of the page            

3.  Enter your uNID and password and click LOGIN

You’re now logged in through “remote access” which means you can use most of the library’s subscription resources, including databases, electronic journals, and eBooks.

What if you need an article that isn't available online?

Register with ILLiad to request material. If you are a student, there will only be a fee if you request an item that is available from a University of Utah library; you will not be charged for items that are not available from the University of Utah.

See a list of fees and more information here: http://library.med.utah.edu/or/services/fees.php#illfees

If you order an article that is available electronically, it will be sent to you via email; most of the time it will arrive within 24 hours.
