Remote Access to AW Library Resources via Citrix

The default option for remote access to AW Library Resources is via VPNs, however, that option may be problematic for some people.

If the Ascension regional / national VPNs are locking you out of AW Library resources, you are not alone.  One possible solution is to use Citrix for remote access.



Look for a shortcut on your desktop for Citrix.

Mine looks like the one above.  Yours may say WIGLE or WIMIL.

Log in with your usual network credentials.

Once you log in, you should see a number of shortcuts on the Citrix desktop.  
It may look something like this:




There should be a shortcut for Library Services.  As I understand it, the Citrix servers have more stable IPs that make using Library Resources more reliable for remote work, than the VPNs -- which work fine for most things, but not authentication for Library resources.

If you don't have a Citrix shortcut on your desktop, you can use the direct urls:


Contact the AIT Help Desks for additional assistance for remote access.

ChemIDplus and the Drug Information Portal Content Available from PubChem Only Starting in December 2022

 




Reprinted from: ChemIDplus and the Drug Information Portal Content Available From PubChem Only Starting December 2022. NLM Tech Bull. 2022 Jul-Aug;(447):e2.


On December 12, 2022, PubChem will serve as NLM's single source for chemical information. NLM is retiring ChemIDplus and the Drug Information Portal, two other chemical property information sites, to better focus our development efforts on a single, integrated source of chemical information. All of the data found in ChemIDplus and the Drug Information Portal is currently available and will continue to be available in PubChem.

PubChem is the world's largest collection of freely accessible chemical information. A quick guide to finding ChemIDplus data on PubChem can be found at Accessing ChemIDplus Content from PubChem. In addition, About PubChem provides a wealth of information about using PubChem, including sections on:

  1. PubChem News, which provides updates about PubChem.
  2. What's in PubChem, which explains the different components of PubChem and the content included in the site.
  3. PubChem Search and Tools, which includes information on advanced search features and chemical structure searching.
  4. Programmatic Access, which provides information on programmatical access of PubChem data, including the REST and SOAP API features.

A new self-paced PubChem tutorial (https://www.nlm.nih.gov/oet/ed/pubchem/tutorial/) is also available to guide users through the steps to access chemical property and structure data that hundreds of academic, government, and industrial sources contribute to PubChem. It includes step-by-step directions for how to find chemical information using chemical names, identifiers, molecular formulas, gene symbols, proteins, pathways, taxonomies, and structures.

New content will continue to be added to ChemIDplus and the Drug Information Portal until November 1, 2022. Both ChemIDplus and the Drug Information Portal will remain available until they are retired in mid-December 2022. The ChemIDplus data (which includes all of the data in the Drug Information Portal) is also available as a bulk download file through the NLM Data Distribution Program and will continue to be available after both sites are retired.

If you have any questions, please contact the NLM Support Center.
