Remote Access to Library Resources: Library Web App | Citrix StoreFront

Aligned/Non-employee providers with Advocate Health Care and Aurora Health Care who want access to Advocate Health – Midwest Library’s electronic resources can request the Library Web App be placed in their Citrix StoreFront account.

The Library Web App opens a browser within Citrix that is connected to the Advocate Health - Midwest network, and will give you seamless access to library resources. 

The Library Web App is available in Citrix StoreFront, and you must fill out a form to request this app be added to your StoreFront account. In order to be eligible, you must:

• work in the Midwest Region
• have a network ID and access to Advocate or Aurora Citrix StoreFront
• not have single sign on (SSO) credentials. (If you have SSO credentials, use LibLynx to access library resources.)

After you fill out the form, a library teammate will place your request for the Library Web App within one business day. Your Advocate Health leader will need to approve your request before the app is installed in Citrix StoreFront.

Advantages:

• Provides a method for accessing library resources remotely for clinicians who don't have Advocate Health - Midwest single-sign-on or VPN credentials, but who do have access to Citrix StoreFront and Epic.
• The links are in the environment that clinicians are most familiar with.

Disadvantages:

• Printing can be challenging or impossible when using library resources through the Library Web App.
• Since the browser in Citrix is running on the Advocate Health Network, some websites are blocked due to security.
