Remote Access to Library Resources: Access for Independent Affiliated Teammates

Learn how to get access to Advocate Health - Midwest Library resources when working remotely, or off the institutional network.

Library Access Overview

This guide provides information on how independent affiliated teammates can get access to Library resources.

Independent affiliated teammates are non-employee providers who have privileges with Advocate Health Care (IL) or Aurora Health Care (WI) and also have a Network ID. If you are an independent affiliated teammate without a Network ID, contact your leader or sponsor to request this.

Getting access to library resources depends on whether you are on-network or off-network. On-network access to library subscription resources is seamless. Start out at the library’s website, https://library.aah.org, and find quick links to your favorite resources or use the Quick Search box to find and access articles, books, and book chapters. 

Your method for getting off-network access to library resources depends on whether you have Advocate Health SSO credentials in the form of an aah.org email address, or if you only have a Network ID. 

 

Remote/Off-Network Library Access

Off-Network Access via LibLynx

  • This option is available for those with an Advocate Health SSO account, which is associated with an aah.org email address. 
  • LibLynx can be used from anywhere and on any device. You don't have to have any special software to use it.
  • If you are using your personal device which is connected to your printer, you can print articles and other content from library resources easily.
  • A LibLynx account will only give you access to subscription resources that are managed by the library. Resources that are managed by other departments, such as UpToDate Lexidrug (formerly Lexicomp), are only available on-network.

Off-Network Access via the Library Web App in Citrix StoreFront

  • The Library Web App opens within a web-based Citrix environment
  • Access to content is read only.
