Library Services for Distance Education Programs
This portal is meant to meet the needs of distance education students and to provide all library patrons with an equivalent level of access to the myriad of resources offered through the medical center library. You are a distance education student if you are enrolled in an online program. Because you are off-campus, you will be prompted to log in to ALADIN or the VPN (Instructions).
