LibAccess: How To Access Resources Off-Campus
ALERT: Issues with LibAccess
Due to an unfortunate error, as of April 30, 2012 most of the McMaster LibAccess accounts have been deleted. You have two choices for regaining access to the McMaster online collections:
- Use your MACID username and password. Not sure if you have a MACID? Verify your MACID.
- Re-establish your LibAccess account by registering again using your barcode. Re-register for LibAccess.
If you don't know your barcode contact hslib@mcmaster.ca.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
What is LibAccess?
LibAccess is a service which lets you use a username and password to access McMaster’s electronic resources from off campus (with the exception of UpToDate).
How do I set up my LibAccess Account?
- If you have a MAC ID and Password, you can use that to login to LibAccess.
- If you don't have a MAC ID and password, read LibAccess for FHS Instructors and Research Affiliates.
How do I Login to LibAccess?
If you're off campus and are accessing resources from the HSL website, make sure you're logged in before opening anything with the small lock icon
. To login, click on the LibAccess icon 
located in the right column of each of our pages.
If you're not logged in you may be faced with a publisher's login page, or asked to pay a fee for an article or e-book.
