Accessing Online Resources at the Hope Brings Strength Health Sciences Library

How to Access Online Library Resources

To access licensed resources:

1. Start at a Rowan University Libraries website.
2. Find the e-book, e-journal, database, or other online resource you are looking for, or search a database for the article(s)
3. Click the link to access the resource or article
4. You will be prompted to select your affiliation: choose Rowan (not Cooper Health).
5. Log in using your Rowan NetID and authenticate through Duo, Rowan’s two-factor authentication system.

Using links to e-books, e-journals, databases, and other resources on the libraries' website will allow you to validate your affiliation with Rowan University and give you access to the resource.

Databases accessed through links on the libraries' website tie into Rowan Libraries' e-journal holdings and search results will display full-text access options.  

Another convenient option is LibKey Nomad, a browser extension that helps connect you directly to articles available through Rowan Libraries. Once installed and configured, LibKey Nomad works automatically as you browse and search online, checking whether Rowan subscribes to the journal content you are viewing and displaying available access options whether you started at the library’s website or not. .
