Links to textbooks for nursing programs

We are aware that some students are having trouble accessing textbooks from links provided in their syllabus. The links go to an old system for off campus access and they will not work.

Any link that starts with http://0- is affected. Also, if the links do not begin https://ezproxy you will have trouble accessing the book off campus.

Some links also require a certain format for them to work. If you are given a link to a ClinicalKey book that does not have “dura/browse” anywhere in it, then it will also not work correctly regardless of whether you are on campus or off campus.

These are the correct links for some of the textbooks we know you are trying to access:

If you have trouble accessing any textbooks, please contact us.

If you are an instructor, we are more than happy to look over any links you have in a syllabus or are posting in Moodle. Again, please don’t hesitate to contact us so we can ensure students can get to their required materials.
