Remote Access to Web Resources

Off-campus or remote access to the University Network is available for the Univeristy of Utah community. All faculty, students and staff are eligible.

Eccles Library expands and promotes online access to valuable resources through the library's website at http://library.med.utah.edu/. Most electronic resources purchased by the Library require a license agreement with the publisher, or supplier. These resources include scholarly databases, such as the Cochrane Library and CINAHL; full text journals or books. The Library makes every effort to purchase campus wide licenses for electronic resources. However, some resources are restricted to on-campus access.
