The Health Sciences Library at MyMichigan Health supports patient care, education, research and management efforts by providing high quality, knowledge-based information services and resources. It provides these tools for all MyMichigan Health employees regardless of location or department.
Most of the MyMichigan Health Library resources are online but there are two physical library locations in the system; the main library is located at the Midland Medical Center across the hall from the Gift Shop and the secondary library is located at the Alma Medical Center across the hall from the Simulation Lab. Both locations are open 24/7 but only staffed periodically, the best way to get ahold of the Librarian is via e-mail or on Microsoft Teams.
To access the MyMichigan Health electronic resources off-site, you need to log-in via Single Sign On using your MyMichigan Username and Password. The links will redirect you to the Single Sign On page. If you are already logged into the system on the device you are using, this should be automatic. If you are not logged into the system or are at home, you would need to manually put in your information.
The format will be username@midmichigan.net where the ‘username’ is your badge number. For example; a115128@midmichigan.net. Your password is the same password you use for your MyMichigan Health email. For inquiries about your MyMichigan Health username and password, please email the IT Helpdesk or call 989-839-3800 if you know your badge number.
You will be asked to send a Push Notification through Duo in order to confirm your identity. Please follow their instructions on your chosen method.
