Why is off-campus access limited to UMMSM/JHS students, faculty, and staff?
When we purchase access to an electronic resource, we sign a license agreement with the vendor. This license requires us to restrict access to the current UMMSM/JHS community.

Are there any restrictions?

• Users of these resources must abide by existing copyright legislation including fair use and library use.
• It is prohibited to systematically download or programmatically copy articles and other information obtained from electronic resources.
• It is prohibited to republish in print or electronic form.
• It is prohibited to alter, abridge, adapt or modify the licensed materials without permission.
• Articles may not be downloaded in aggregate quantities or centrally stored for later retrieval.
• Resources may not be used for commercial purposes, such as bulk reproduction or distribution

Why can I get into some electronic journals without logging in?
Some full text journals are freely available to anyone on the Internet, either for a limited time or permanently. These titles are listed on the Library's E-Journals A-Z list, but they do not require a login. 

 What can I do if I got a Cookie error message?
After the authentication, a “cookie” is sent to your browser as an ongoing indication of your authorization to access this database.  If you got a cookie error message, your browser may be currently set to disallow cookies.  Just change your browser back to the default setting to ACCEPT COOKIES. 

Why did I get a "404 Error" (File Not Found) page or a "Server not Found or DNS Error" page? 
Sometimes users encounter error pages for certain common problems. When they occur, the web server (or web browser) sends an error page for you to view - usually without a lot of explanation. Two common Internet errors are:

• 404 Errors (Page not Found) 
• "Server not Found or DNS Error"

Users may get these errors for a variety of reasons.

• An incorrect URL, outdated link or a missing page
• Some aspect of your network is down or very busy

These errors generally indicate the problem resides on the provider's (publishers) website, and may not be related to your remote access sessions.  

Why can't I view or print a PDF?
If you can't open a PDF, make sure you are using the most current version of Reader, a free download from www.adobe.com.
If you are unable to print, make sure you are using the Adobe print button, and not the browser print button.

I'm from the Coral Gables UM campus, how do I access the Calder Library online resources from home?
Go to the Richter Library homepage (https://www.library.miami.edu/), and click on the Connect from Off-Campus link (towards the left side of the page).

I'm from the Latin American program, how do I access the Calder Library online resources from home?
Latin American students who are affiliated for a period exceeding one month are granted remote access to our resources. They would first need to register with the library. Once this is done they can then use their username and barcode to access our electronic resources. After leaving, they will always have access to Sitios Electrónicos Médicos (http://calder.med.miami.edu/sitiosmedicos.html) which is linked in the Calder Portals.
