Mobile Apps and Browser Extensions: Access App

What's on the App

All of your Library's subscriptions to McGraw-Hill Medical Access digital collections, including AccessMedicine and AccessPhysiotherapy. Can download book chapters for offline viewing (cached on app, not saved locally).

App Rules

Must have an Access profile. Must authenticate via your ACHE credentials at least every 90 days maintain access.

PLEASE NOTE: The free Access profile is separate from accessing the site via your ACHE credentials. When you sign into the site via OpenAthens, it recognizes that you are affiliated with ACHE and have access to the content. But it doesn't know who you are. In creating a separate, free profile, it will recognize who you are, allowing you to save favorites, do review questions, and more.

For more information about the app, please see McGraw-Hill's website (https://mheducation.libguides.com/access-app).

Steps

Step 1 - Login to an Access site with your ACHE credentials first

When setting up your free Access profile, it needs to know which institution you are affiliated with. It is recommended that you set up your free Access profile first by logging into an Access collection site with your ACHE credentials via OpenAthens.

Login either by:

• Using this library link (https://go.openathens.net/redirector/achehealth.edu?url=https://access.mhmedical.com/umbrella-main.aspx), which prompts the ACHE OpenAthens sign in
• Going directly to the Access collections website (https://access.mhmedical.com/umbrella-main.aspx) and sign in via OpenAthens with your ACHE credentials.

 

Once you see "Accessed Provided By:" and the ACHE Library logo, you are ready to create your free Access profile.

 

Step 2 - Create a free Access profile

Click on "My Profile" in the upper right hand corner.

Select "Sign in or Create a Free Access Profile".

Fill out the form and click "Create Profile".

You will receive an email confirming your registration.

 

Step 3 - Download the app

To download the app, visit the App Store or Google Play.

 

Step 4 - Authenticate

Open the app and enter your Access account information.

 

Step 5 - Re-authenticate

You must authenticate via your ACHE credentials (versus your Access profile) at least every 90 days maintain access. You do not need to come on campus. Just login first with your ACHE credentials via OpenAthens, and then login to your Access profile.
