Q: I don't see the "Big 3" box on the AW library home page with DynaMed, Lexicomp, and NRC Plus. Where did they go, and how do I get them back?

Answer: Usually authentication for Library resources happens unobtrusively behind the scenes, which means if you are working at an Ascension WI worksite, you will automatically be able to use the library resources with no fuss or bother, or extra logins.  That said, there are times and certain physical work sites that seem to fall through the cracks.  Fortunately, we have a workaround!

If you do NOT see the "Big 3" box on the library home page with DynaMed, Lexicomp, and Nursing Reference Center Plus, you might not be recognized as an Ascension WI person, or coming from an Ascension WI work site.  

In this case, you can use OpenAthens for remote access.  This works best if you have an Ascension email.

On the AW Library homepage, you should see a log in on the right side [See above, highlighted in yellow].

Then on the LEFT side, click on Connect [highlighted in yellow.]

Then use your Ascension network email and your usual network password to sign in safely and securely.  This is similar to signing into to PolicyStat or other online resources with Active Directory.

This should let the system recognize you, and know that you have rightful access to Lexicomp and DynaMed and NRC Plus.   

Once you are logged in, you should see your name in the upper right corner, and the "Big 3" box should once again be visible on the left side.

Introducing OpenAthens - Single Sign-On Solution for Remote Access - Available now!

Ascension Wisconsin Library Services is happy to announce the rollout of OpenAthens (OA), a single sign-on solution that will allow you to access our AW library resources from off-site, without using VPN or Citrix.

When prompted, enter your usual Ascension sign-in credentials.  Once logged in, you will be authenticated and able to access library resources for that session.   

 

An OA session lasts up to 6 hours, or until you manually log out.

All future sessions will require you to re-sign on with your Ascension credentials.
