How to Access Library Resources


 

How do I access articles in PubMed?

The easiest way to access the full text of an article is to search Pubmed from our NYU Health Sciences Library Gateway. There are two way to do this:

Searching directly from our homepage:

Select PubMed to search PubMed from the Library homepage

Or by starting your search at our NYUHSL Pubmed Gateway page at:
 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?otool=nynyumlib.

Starting at either of these locations ensures full text access to any content that the library subscribes to. Navigate to the article of your choice and then click on the purple button that says "Access through NYU HSL."

Choosing the NYU HSL access button on PubMed

If we do not subscribe to the resource that you found in Pubmed, you can request the article through our Document Delivery Service (DDS).

Requesting a book from DDS when it is unavailable online

Please note that DDS requires a NYU Langone Health or NYU username (KID or Net ID). Select your affiliation to login. Most of our users will want to choose NYULH (this is the same username and password you would use to log into your NYULH email).

How do I find Journals, Databases, and Books?

The Library subscribes to thousands of resources, all of which are available online.

Choosing the catalog on main search bar

The catalog will provide you with a list of resources that match your search. Select your title for more information, or click on the green text that says "Available" for the quickest access.

Choosing a result in your catalog search

In some cases, the Library is able to provide access through multiple providers. Select any of the providers for access. Note that some providers may only have content from certain years.

How do get access from off-site?

Simply search the catalog the same way you did in Step 2. After you’ve selected the journal, database, or book of your choice, you will be asked to choose your institutional affiliation. Most of our users will want to choose NYU Langone Health. Then you will be able to log in with your KID and password.

Your KID and password are the same ones you use to access Inside Health.

Choosing your affiliation when logging in from off-site

After you log in, you will automatically be directed to your resource.

If you experience problems with your username or password, please contact the MCIT Help Desk at (212) 263-6868

We also offer a suite of tools to make your off-campus browsing experience mores seamless. These tools include a browser extension called LibKey Nomad, and a bookmarklet you can add to your browser bar.
