- Use MyAccess. There are two ways to do this:
- Go to library.ucsf.edu when you start an information finding session, click on anything (almost) and you will be prompted to log in with your MyAccess credentials
- If you forget to do this and then find some publisher wants to charge you $50 for access to the fulltext of an article, click on Reload via EZproxy!
- What is this EZproxy thing you speak of?
- Click on Help Center on the Library Homepage
- Find Using the EZproxy bookmarket and click on that link
- Find the orange rectangle which says Reload via EZproxy and drag that to the bookmarks tool bar on your browser. When you encounter a "paywall" in the future click on Reload via EZproxy and you will be asked to sign in with MyAccess
