AJRCCM Online
SUBSCRIBER HELP & SERVICES:
Frequently Asked Questions
about Institutional Subscriptions
- My institution has a subscription to AJRCCM, and access to
the AJRCCM Online, but I'm not able to see the full text of articles. I'm
prompted for a username and password. Why is this happening?
When this happens, the IP address for your machine is not being recognized
by our computer. This failure is caused by one of three things:
- Your institutional subscription has not yet been activated
- The person who "activated" the online subscription did not enter
in all needed IP addresses for your institution
- The person who "activated" the online subscription does not
realize that some subnets of your institution are routed through a proxy server
What should I do?
- Send us Feedback so we can begin to
diagnose the problem.
- Talk to your librarian, and let them know you are having trouble.
- My library subscribes to the paper AJRCCM, and I can't get access
to it online. Why?
Your institution has not yet activated its institutional subscription to
AJRCCM Online. All subscribers to the paper journal also receive access to the
online journal. Notify your library that you would like access to the AJRCCM
Online, and encourage your librarian to activate
the online subscription.
- Who from my institution can access AJRCCM Online?
The subscription fee allows for unrestricted Internet access at one
location. Any user connecting from an authorized computer on your institutional
network will be allowed access to AJRCCM Online.
- What is an Institution?
For the most part, an Institutional Subscription authorizes use at a
localized site. A "site" is an organizational unit, and may be
academic or nonacademic. For organizations located in more than one city, each
city office is considered a different site. For organizations within the same
city that are administered independently, each office is considered a different
site.
For example, each campus in the State University of New York system is
considered a different site, and each branch or office of UpJohn Laboratories is
considered a different site.
- How will this work?
When someone attempts to use AJRCCM Online, our server checks to see if the
requesting computer is within the list of internet IP address provided by a
subscribing institution. If it is, the reader will be able to use all those
services enabled for institutional readers. For institutional subscribers, there
are no usernames or passwords to remember, and there is currently no limit on
the number of readers from your institution who may access AJRCCM Online
simultaneously.
If readers want to access AJRCCM Online from computers that are not part of
your institutional network (e.g., through dial-in or telnet through a commercial
Internet service provider) they can do so only through a member
subscription.

- How can I tell if my institution has subscribed to AJRCCM Online
If your institution has a subscription, you'll automatically have access to
the tables of contents, abstracts, full-text searching, full text display, PDFs,
Medline and GenBank links, and future tables of contents. You'll also see a
button at the top of the page confirming you're signed in as part of an
institution.
If your institution has not subscribed, or if you wish to take advantage of
the additional services available to member subscribers, you can choose to
access AJRCCM Online with a member subscription.
- Can my institution subscribe only to the electronic version?
No, at the present time, the electronic version is provided to subscribers
of the paper version of the AJRCCM as an added benefit.
- Will we still be able to get the paper version? And for how long?
Yes, institutions and individuals will be able to receive the paper version
for the foreseeable future. At some time, the Society might decide to allow
separate subscriptions for the electronic and paper versions.
- If our AJRCCM Online subscription expires and at some later date
we reinstate our subscription, will we have access to all years of the
electronic version?
Yes, when you buy a subscription to AJRCCM Online, you have access to all
years of the database.
- How can I access the AJRCCM Online if I am not an ATS member and I
don't have access through an institutional subscription?
You may purchase the AJRCCM as an Individual (Non-Member) subscriber or you
may wish to apply for ATS membership. Without a subscription you have access to
the table of contents, abstracts, and full-text searching (but not full-text
viewing) at no cost and without having to register.
