1/25/2024 - A recent update to the LWW Health Library Platform is directing textbook links to the main page for LWW instead of the exact link to the textbook. If you are trying to access a book on the LWW Health platform, like Bates' Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking, click on the Texts icon and then scroll through the list of textbooks to access the textbook you need.  We are actively working with the publisher to resolve this issue.

If you have any trouble accessing the books or chapters, please contact the medical librarians Michelle Keba Knecht and Tiffany Follin at LibraryMed@health.fau.edu with a screenshot of the error message you received or check out the library’s troubleshooting page at https://library.fau.edu/medical/troubleshooting-error-messages.
