NOTE: If you are a Dental Library patron you must access your resources through the Dental Library site. See the Dental Library site for more information.

ERA 2 (Ehrman Remote Access) allows off-campus access to the library's electronic resources, including databases, full-text books, and full-text journals. ERA 2 works with almost all links in the library's Web site and MEDCat.

Using ERA 2

1. Go the library's web site or to MEDCat and click on the resource you wish to use:
   
   
   
2. An authentication screen will appear:
   
3. KID/NetID: use your Kerberos ID (KID) or NetID (e.g., doej01 or msk23)
4. Password: use your School of Medicine (SOM) or hospital e-mail password
5. You will be connected to the selected resource

Note that unless you close your browser down completely you will only be authenticated once per session, regardless of how many remote sites you access.
