UpToDate (Wolters Kluwer) This link opens in a new windowPlease note: In order to use UpToDate, Wolters Kluwer, the database vendor, requires all MSJ users to create a personal account with login credentials that are separate from their regular MSJ Library login. You must read and follow these directions for account access:
1. To create your Wolters Kluwer UpToDate personal account, click on the database link above.
2. Make sure you are NOT on the MSJ campus network (which includes VPN) when you click on the URL above. You need to access the registration site on a device that is connected to an off-campus network, such as your internet service provider or wireless phone provider's network.
3. On the MSJ Library remote access login screen, type in your last name and MSJ Library ID number (the number labelled LIB on the front of your Mount ID card).
4. Click on either the “register” or “register now” buttons. (Please note: if you see a “subscribe” button instead of a “register” button in the upper right-hand corner, then that means you’re connected to the MSJ on-campus network. Please switch to an off-campus network and try again.)
5. On the registration screen, you’ll be asked to enter your name, email address, zip code, and then identify your specialty and role. You will also create a username and password. Please note: This is the username and password that you will use to login to UpToDate from now on.
6. Once you have set up your personal account, you should now be logged in and can begin using UpToDate. From this point forward, whenever you want to login to UpToDate, you can go directly to https://www.uptodate.com and login using the username and password that you created when you registered. At this point, you can also download the UpToDate app for iPhone or Android, and use it with your personal account username and password.
