Some resources and mobile apps, such as AccessMedicine, LWW, or DynaMed encourage you to create a free personal account or to register to access specialized content, such as question banks and assessment sections.  Others, like Clinical Key, require a personal account to download and print content.  Personal accounts may also be required to use the resource's mobile app.     

Many personal accounts allow personalization features and content customization and provide an alternate method for off-campus or remote access to their sites.  They also can be used to monitor and track abuse and copyright compliance. 

The personal accounts frequently require periodic verification of your continued Rowan affiliation after a set number of days, usually every 30 to 90 days.  To do this log into the resource using the links on the library's website.  Resource links on the library's website route through Rowan authentication systems and will verify your continued Rowan affiliation to the resource.  Check the individual resource's account or registration web page for details on how you create and maintain the account.
