Hi all,
Some library databases require patrons to create an account in addition to their UNCG iSpartan account. Not just to get extra features, but to use the database in any way. I know of two databases with with requirement for the sciences - UpToDate and SciFinder-n.
Steve says that WGSN also requires the creation of an account to use - that's World's Global Style Network (WGSN) -- Insight and Fashion
Below are screenshots for creating accounts for UpToDate and SciFinder-n. With many thanks to Wade for those images!
UpToDate - healthcare summaries for clinicians caring for patients, drug information, some patient education (written for the general public); these are not articles nor research articles; Lea has heard the most interest in this database from nursing and nutrition but there's interest from other subject areas too
- The library link (from the databases list and LibGuides) should route patrons to a page that has a button to register or create an UpToDate account
- Once patrons have both their iSpartan account and their UpToDate account, they can use UpToDate by using the library link, also they can download the Mobile App on up to 2 devices and activate it with their UpToDate account
- UNCG Libraries has paid for UpToDate until May 2028 - unknown whether it will be possible to fund access after that
