ClinicalKey

Scheduled Maintenance for ClinicalKey, September 20, 2025

September 18, 2025: If you were planning on getting up early Saturday to delve into the latest edition of Clinical Chemistry on the ClinicalKey database, you might want to sleep in. The ClinicalKey database will undergo scheduled maintenance this Saturday morning, September 20, 2025. The affected time will be from 5:30 am to 8 am our time. During the maintenance period, some functionality or content which would normally be accessible in the database may not be available or operate as it normally would. ClinicalKey, and the Library, appreciate your patience, as always.

FIXED: ClinicalKey organization prompt

UPDATE: The problem has been fixed, and you should be able to access ClinicalKey content as usual.

We are seeing a new organization prompt when accessing ClinicalKey both on and off campus:

The manager of the database is currently working to fix the problem. Until this is resolved, choose LSU Health New Orleans, general access.

If you need assistance with this or any other Library resources, please contact us.

FIXED: ClinicalKey access problems

UPDATE August 5, 2022: The problem has been resolved, so you can now use the Library’s link to ClinicalKey (https://ezproxy.lsuhsc.edu/login?url=https://www.clinicalkey.com) and should not have any troubles. If you do need help, contact us.

ORIGINAL POST August 5, 2022: If you are trying to access ClinicalKey using any link that has https://ezproxy.lsuhsc.edu/login?url= as the prefix, it is currently not working. This will affect all off campus access, as well as using ClinicalKey through the VPN, Citrix, or on campus when logged into the LSUHSC-Secure wireless network.

Until this problem is resolved, you can access ClinicalKey by:

Go to https://www.clinicalkey.com

Choose Login on the top right of the screen:

Choose OpenAthens login on the next screen:

If prompted, enter your full LSUHSC-NO email address and password:

We will update when we have more information about this problem, but if you need any assistance please contact us.
