Access to the Strauss Health Sciences Library must be obtained directly from the library. These separate resource groupings are in part with respect to legal obligations of the University, including copyright and breadth of access to University materials. 

If you do not have one already you should be able to obtain a free borrowing card for the libraries, but this will not automatically allow you electronic access if you want it. As a next step for you to see what level of library access you are able to obtain, we recommend that you fill out and submit the application form located on their website.

Then the library staff will be able to look up your information and determine what level of library access you qualify for. If you would like to talk with someone, there are a couple of people listed toward the top of the web page.
