Full Text Access
One of the most common requests is, "How do I get access to the full text?" The answer, in part, depends upon where you are. PIMC uses resources from AZHIN (Arizona Health Information Network), HSRL (Health Services Research Library which is a branch of the National Institute of Health) as well as resources we purchase. When you are on campus publishers recognize that your computer is part of the PIMC network and you can often click on without loggin on. When you are off campus publishers need another way to recognize you. Follow the instructions below to register and use resources off-site access.
On Campus Access
Start at the PIMC Medical Library website. This sites lets publishers know you are part of the PIMC network and eliible to use the resources without payment. Whenever possible resources on the PIMC Medical Library website are set up so that you can click on the title and go to the full text. There are, however, changes in HSRL access.
