iology e-Book access issues
There is an ongoing issue with the McGraw-Hill Access e-books whereby some users are not being recognised as ANZCA/CICM users when they attempt to authenticate within the IP range of another institution that also subscribes to McGraw-Hill e-books. This results in the user not being properly authenticated and being unable to access certain e-books.
Workarounds: Access to the above collections should be unaffected when authenticated outside the IP range of the affected institutions. This includes access from home and access from a mobile device using 4G (and not the institutions' Wi-Fi). Users with a pre-existing MyAccess login, can sign out of the affected collections, and sign in using their MyAccess credentials.

ANZCA users requiring urgent access can submit chapter request/s via the Request an article service.
