FAQ

Q: I am a Preceptor for the UT College of Pharmacy. How can I access these resources?

A: Preceptors must use their UT EID/password for access to these resources. Please contact the Pharmacy Experiential mailbox to request access to library resources: pharmexperiential@austin.utexas.edu.

Q: Some of the links take me directly to the reference title I’m interested in. Others just take me to the database provider and then I have to look for the title I want. Why is that?

A: Some of our database providers supply a method for deep linking to individual titles. When possible we use those to link directly. Otherwise, we can only link you to the service and then you will have to find the title of interest. In some cases you can’t see the individual titles that are available until after you complete a search.

Q: I am a student on rotation assigned outside Austin. Is there a way for me to get a copy of an article that is only available in print in the library?

Inter Library Services (ILS) supplies materials for you whether they are in the library or not. Go to the Get a Scan page and click on the Get A Scan Request button. Enter your UT EID and password, and then complete the "Registration/Change User Information" form. At the bottom of the form, change "Location Status" to "Remote Delivery." Choose "Submit" and then choose the appropriate New Request.

For more information about ILS, check the ILS FAQ page for Remote Delivery

Q: I’m a UT student, but not in Pharmacy or Nursing, can I use these resources?

A: Any UT student, staff or faculty member can use these resources with current UT EID.

Q: Can I use Clinical Pharmacology CP Mobile on my Smartphone?

A: Clinical Pharmacology now has a Clinical Pharmacology Mobile app available for Apple or Android.
