Access to EBCAM Resources

I have a Tufts ID, which online EBCAM resources are available to me?
If you have a Tufts ID all online resources on the EBCAM website are available to you.

I don’t have Tufts ID, are any EBCAM resources available to me online?
If you don’t have a Tufts ID, you have access to all publicly available resources which includes links to all other websites and to the full-text of some journal articles. You do not have access to the full-text of journal articles from Tufts-subscribed journals nor to Tufts-subscribed databases.

If I have a Tufts ID how do I access EBCAM full-text links from off-campus?
EBCAM users don't need any special set-up to access full-text links from off-campus. However, a Tufts ID is required to be able to view the text of most journal articles with a full-text link and to connect to certain databases. When you click on a full-text link you will be prompted to enter your Tufts ID.

What if my Tufts ID does not work?
If your Tufts ID does not work, please call the Hirsh Health Sciences Library InfoCirc Desk at 617-636-6705, Monday to Friday 9:30 am to 5:00 pm. We have found that our licensed databases work best when using the Internet Explorer browser.
