Notice: Changes in Acess to Clinical Key

As of October 22, 2021, ClinicalKey, a large collection of biomedical books and journals, will no longer be available to the UVM community. UVM’s medical librarians are working to identify alternate resources. We are also working to identify essential reference and research tools that meet some of the needs previously served by ClinicalKey.

The UVM Libraries remain committed to obtaining the articles you need. Some of the content lost in the subscription cancellation can be obtained through Interlibrary Loan. Interlibrary loan requests will remain free of charge to UVM students, faculty, and staff. You can also use the Libraries’ Recommend a Purchase service to request that we purchase a book or journal.

Further information is available on our website.
