Access to online HSL resources
Access is authenticated through a service called OpenAthens. For directions on how to login or what credentials to use, visit the OpenAthens guide.
If you are physically at SUNY Binghamton's Decker School of Nursing and using Eduroam for internet access, you should be able to access many Upstate resources seamlessly. However, there will be resources where SUNY Binghamton's access will be presented rather than Upstate's. In those instances, aside from McGrawHill resources, you will need to access the resource off Eduroam or submit an Interlibrary loan request for the item.
