EZProxy authentication changes to UpToDate

UpToDate logoStarting November 4, 2014, UpToDate users logging in from off-campus via EZProxy will experience a minor change, which has been mandated by the database vendor.

After logging in through EZProxy, users will be presented with an intermediary page in UpToDate that includes options to either login using an existing personal account or register for a new account. Personal accounts will be linked with users’ UT Southwestern logins, and registered users will be able to bypass the intermediary page on subsequent logins.

Users without a personal account will be able continue to perform searches as usual but will be presented with the intermediary page upon each login. The search box will be located on the top left corner instead of the center of the page.

Access from on-campus or via Juniper VPN will remain the same.

One of the major advantages of establishing a personal account is that the user will receive 0.5 continuing medical education (CME) credit upon completion of each search.
