As of August 1, 2013, off campus access to Clinical Key is via the UC SSL VPN (Secure Sockets Layer Virtual Private Network) only. Clinical Key has been available via the proxy server since April during a trial. UC Health decided not to subscribe to Clinical Key. Therefore, proxy server access to Clinical Key for UC Health employees ended when the trial came to an end July 31, 2013.
UC SSL VPN access to Clinical Key is available for users with a UC central login. Information about how to set up VPN access is available here http://libraries.uc.edu/hsl/vpnsetup2013.pdf . For more information about off campus access or the VPN, go to http://libraries.uc.edu/hsl/reference/remoteaccess.html .
Clinical Key eBook Full Text Access On and Off Campus
One other Clinical Key requirement is to set up an additional personal account in order to access ebook full text both on and off campus. If you already have a personal Scopus account, that login will also work with Clinical Key.
