Heads up, UMB faculty, staff, and students: It’s super easy to access Health Sciences and Human Services Library resources both on campus and off.
If you are a UMB faculty, staff, or student and are on campus (in a UMB building), you can search for journal articles and books online, no need to log in with your UMID and password or to go to the Health Sciences and Human Services Library (HS/HSL) homepage. You will be recognized by your IP address.
If you VPN into campus, you also are not prompted for a UMID and password. It is as if you are on campus — seamless access.
If you are off campus, go to the HS/HSL homepage to log in. See the blue Off-Campus Access button in the upper right-hand corner of our page? Click and enter your UMID and password for full-text access to the journals we subscribe to.
Using Google Scholar off campus? To get to full text easily, make sure you do a quick settings change.
Look at the upper left-hand corner of Google Scholar, click on the three parallel lines icon, and you will see a link to Settings. Click, then choose Library Links.
Type Maryland into the search bar and then choose the Health Sciences and Human Services Library, Univ of Maryland (Find It @ HS/HSL) and click Save.
Now, when searching Google Scholar you will now see a link on the right-hand side when you come to an article that HS/HSL subscribes to.
You can reach us via email Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., at hshsl@umaryland.edu for assistance.
