Library resources must be viewed on the Dignity Health network for full-text access. Visit the Remote Access page for instructions on how to access some resources off-site.

UpToDate requires all off-site users to re-verify their affiliation with Dignity Health once every 90 days. To re-verify, log in to UpToDate while on any computer connected to the Dignity Health network. UpToDate’s terms of use prohibit sharing your user ID and password, so you need to personally re-verify. See this tip sheet for more information on registering for and renewing your access.
