Accessing Licensed eResources:

FAQ for CHLA Employees Who Don't Qualify for USC Computer Accounts

I used to be able to connect to USC resources from home, now I can’t. What’s changed?

Most CHLA employees do not qualify for USC computer accounts, so you no longer have access from home or other remote sites. But you still should have access to most resources while at the hospital.

The resource prompts me for a password.

Some eResources require passwords to access. Unfortunately, retrieving the passwords requires a USC computer account. Non-USC personnel may submit requests for these articles through the CHLA Library either in person or through their online form.

I’m getting an error message at the resource web site.

Try again later. Some resources are licensed for a certain number of concurrent users and the maximum number of users may already be connected. Alternately, the publisher’s web site may be down temporarily.

I’m still having problems!
