MD Consult makes changes to off-campus access

Effective April 12, 2011, off-campus users of MD Consult will need to authenticate with either EZProxy or VPN as they do with all other Library resources. The Library is implementing this change to comply with MD Consult’s licensing rules. (Note: Mobile and on-campus users will not be affected.)
Haven’t accessed MD Consult from off-campus before?
There are two methods you can access MD Consult:

  • Go to the Library’s web site or Library Toolbar and select MD Consult from the “Quick Links” section, which will prompt you to login to EZProxy.
  • Login with Juniper VPN and go directly to www.mdconsult.com

Either method requires the use of your UT Southwestern username and password.
In addition to this change, the MD Consult account login page will be removed so users will be taken directly into the resource when they access it from the Library’s web site.
While personal MD Consult accounts will no longer be used to access MD Consult from off-campus, the accounts themselves will not change. Users may login to their accounts to access their saved searches, alerts, and personal settings. The login button is located in the upper right of all MD Consult pages.
For more information about EZProxy and VPN, please see the Library’s Off Campus Access informational page. If you have questions or concerns about MD Consult, contact the Library at 214.648.2001 or LibeResources@UTSouthwestern.edu.
