How To Access Pharmacy Databases

If you are using campus Wi-Fi, simply clicking the links to resources within this subject guide should take you directly to the resource without having to login. There are a few exceptions, including:

OVID: OVID needs a username/password, regardless of where you're signing in from. If you need the username/password for OVID, email the pharmacy librarian (deuber@ulm.edu).
Pharmacist's Letter: This resource is free to use for students and faculty, but you need to create an account using this link.
SciFinder: Create an account using this link. Make sure to use your ulm.edu email address. Once you have created an account, you should be able to access the resource by clicking it in the 'Journal Articles' section of this guide.
Stat!Ref: Stat!Ref needs a username/password, regardless of where you're signing in from. If you need the username/password for Stat!Ref, email the pharmacy librarian (deuber@ulm.edu).
US Pharmacopeia: To access USP-NF and Food Chemical Codex, create a USP Access Point account using your student/faculty email by clicking here. You do not need to add a subscription key.

When you try to access resources off-campus, you'll be presented with a login screen. For most databases, your credentials are based on the following:

Username: Campus-wide ID

PIN: Date of birth in MMYY format (someone born December 2000 would enter 1200)

LexiDrug and Facts and Comparisons: These databases have a separate login that's different from your Username/PIN, but only for off-campus access. Email the pharmacy librarian for login credentials.

If you are attempting to login to OVID, SciFinder, StatRef, or UpToDate, these have different login methods.

OVID: OVID needs a username/password, regardless of where you're signing in from. If you need the username/password for OVID, email the pharmacy librarian (deuber@ulm.edu).
Pharmacist's Letter: This resource is free to use for students and faculty, but you need to create an account using this link.
SciFinder: Create an account using this link. Make sure to use your ulm.edu email address. Once you have created an account, you should be able to access the resource by clicking it in the 'Journal Articles' section of this guide.
Stat!Ref: Stat!Ref needs a username/password, regardless of where you're signing in from. If you need the username/password for Stat!Ref, email the pharmacy librarian (deuber@ulm.edu).
