Affiliates at Hospitals

MSU affiliates at hospitals include current MSU medical students, clinical adjunct faculty, and MSU residents.

Accessing the MSU Libraries Electronic Resources

To access the MSU Libraries' many electronic resources from off campus (including hospitals), you'll need a MSU NetID and password. If you never received or have forgotten your MSU NetID and password, contact the MSU Department or College that oversees your assignment. The MSU Libraries do not issue NetIDs and passwords.

If you have your MSU NetID and password and are having problems accessing electronic resources, please visit the MSU Libraries Off Campus Access page, or contact Distance Learning Services at 1.800.500.1554 or 517.355.2345 or reachout@msu.edu.

Requesting items from the MSU Libraries

  • If you need a journal article…

And it isn't available electronically through the MSU Libraries (check our list of Electronic Journals), check your hospital library's journal holdings. If they don't have the journal you're looking for, request an InterLibrary Loan through Illiad.

  • If you are looking for a print source…

First, check to see if your hospital library has the item. If not, search the MSU Libraries' Catalog. If MSU has the item, ask your hospital library to request it from us. As long as the item is available for check-out, it will be delivered to your hospital library. Please make sure your hospital librarian notes your MSU affiliation when making the request.
