Pitt's remote access service provides access to most HSLS and other Pitt online resources.

UPMC users are encourage to use the streamlined UPMC Health Sciences Digital Library.

Remote access to the "UPMC Collection" is provided by MyApps. For technical assistance with My​Apps, pleas​e call the ISD Help Desk 412-647-HELP (4357)

Remote access for library resources requires a valid Pitt username and password, plus a second method of verification through an app or phone line. Information on designating your second method of authentication can be found on the Multifactor Authentication at Pitt web page. If you need help logging in, please contact the Pitt Help Desk at 412-624-HELP (4357).

If you are able to log in using Multifactor Authentication but cannot view the library resource you are trying to access, please contact the Health Sciences Library System at 412-648-8866 or through Ask-a-Librarian.
