Nursing: Distance Education Students

Logging into Library Resources from Off-Campus

The easiest way to connect to library resources from off-campus is to use your GW UserID and password.  To do so:

  • Access the Himmelfarb Library website and select the database, e-journal, or e-book that you'd like to access.
  • When 'The George Washington University Single Sign-on' webpage is displayed, securely login with your GW UserID and password (i.e. the same login/password used for your GW Email and Blackboard.)
  • The database, e-text, or e-journal that you selected should display automatically.
  • For more information about logging in, see: Off-campus access

Library Services for Distance Education Programs

The Online Education Page is a collection of resources to help you navigate the Himmelfarb Health Sciences Library.

Interlibrary Loan

Himmelfarb Library provides Interlibrary Loan (ILL) service, which extends user access to materials owned by non-GW libraries.

If you'd like to request an article not owned by GW, visit our Interlibrary Loan page.

To use this service:

  • If you have not used ILL before, you must visit our ILL page and log in with your GW UserID and password.
  • If you haven't used Documents2Go before, you'll be prompted to fill in your personal information to set up your account.
  • You can now place your request. Choose the correct category from the area on the left-hand side of the page titled "New Request". You may select "journal article" or "book chapter" here.  If you'd like to borrow a book from Himmelfarb, please fill out the Delivery Request form.
  • Nursing students receive 30 free requests per academic year.  For the 31st request and beyond, the charge is $10 per item.
