UpToDate: Mobile app & Remote Access

You can use the library's links to UptoDate from the web browser on your mobile device. No app is required.In fact, the mobile friendly site looks identical to the app.  If you like the app version, though then please follow the steps below to set things up correctly.

• You may install the app on two different devices.
• You will still need a WiFi connection to use the app. The content does not download to your device.
• If you only access UptoDate from the app, then you will receive an email asking you to re-authenticate your affiliation with DMU every 90 days. Please see the "Don't Panic!" instructions below when this happens.

Step 1: Access UptoDate from the Library.  

Step 2: Register for a personal account. 

Please submit your DMU email address as a contact.  Please do not choose your DMU password when you register.  This is a personal account with a publisher - this account is not connected with DMU systems.  Think security - do you want a third party vendor to know the password you use to log into D2L and all your student information?

Step 3: Download the UpToDate app. The link can be found above.

Step 4: Log into the app using the credentials you choose when setting up your personal account.  

Congratulations, you're done!

If your only access point to UptoDate is through the app, then every 90 days Wolters Kluwer will send an email requesting that you verify your DMU affiliation. Or, as an app user you may see a message in the app as well.

Don't Panic. 

The email or app may seem to imply that you need to be on the DMU network. You do not need to be on campus.  To verify your DMU identity, simply 

1. Access the web version of UpToDate using the links provided by the library. As long as you can access a web browser from your phone you can do this from your mobile device.

2. Log into your personal account with UpToDate (not your DMU credentials - what username/password did you originally select?). After you log into your personal account from the website, the app should refresh itself immediately.

Please note: If you already have an existing account, do not register again if you can't remember your credentials. If you have forgotten your username or password, contact UpToDate support (800) 998 - 6374 OR customerservice@uptodate.com. Registering again will give you two accounts and this will most likely cause a problem.

If you are having trouble logging into the app, even though you followed the directions on this guide, you can also try re-installing the app and then try to log in again.
