Remote Access

If you are accessing the Library's resources from The Methodist Hospital System buildings, you will automatically be authenticated and gain access to everything (with a few exceptions) provided by the HAM-TMC Library.

If you are a TMH physician trying to access the Library's resources remotely, please use the Physician Portal link to enter the WebVPN.

If you are offsite and away from TMHS buildings, you can still access most of the Library's resources using your HAM-TMC Library remote access account.

Remote access allows registered users to access HAM-TMC Library electronic journals and databases from anywhere Internet access is available, from home or while traveling. TMH users should sign up for the TMC Clinical Partner Access Level.

Your login name will be your TMH email address and your password will be the last 4 digits of your HAM-TMC Library card number. To obtain a Library Card, download and complete the library card application, print it out, and fax it back to the Library.

Remote Access Frequently Asked Questions

Exceptions:

TexShare databases provided by HAM-TMC Library are only available to educational institutions.

However, you can gain access to these resources through the Houston Public Library or the Harris County Public Library . Print out the library card registration form and then take it to the Branch Library of your choice, present your ID, and receive your HPL PowerCard or your HCPL Library Card. This will give you access to a wide array of non-medical resources, such as Academic Search Complete, Business Source Complete, Newspaper Source, and other useful databases.

Also, some resources provided by HAM-TMC Library are not very relevant to a clinical setting. Resources such as America: History and Life and other humanities-oriented or general information sources have not been included in your access. However, if there are Library resources that you think should be available at The Methodist Hospital, please contact Leah Krevit (contact information is below) with your recommendation.
