Staff access

First time users of ClinicalKey need to register.  Accounts are free.  

• Please use your La Trobe email address.  

• For security reasons, we recommend creating a new password and not using your LTU password.  

• You only need to make one account. Your ClinicalKey login will work across all of LTU’s ClinicalKey databases. 

• If you’ve previously made a ClinicalKey account with your La Trobe email address, this should still work. Please contact the Library if you cannot access new resources.

Important information

• Due to the need to create an additional login, we recommend providing Library Search links to students instead of a direct link to the book on the ClinicalKey website. Any student who hasn't created their account yet might get confused if they reach a login screen and can't login using their LTU credentials.
• The Library Search link can be found in the book's record in Library Search, using the Permalink button.
• ClinicalKey eBooks have unlimited access; there is no limit on the number of users who can read & use an eBook.
• Unfortunately, ClinicalKey eBooks do not have an option to print chapters or create PDFs.
• Students can use the Bookshelf feature to read online, or the Bookshelf app to read offline.
