Salem provides access to its renowned healthcare content both in traditional, printed form and online. Combined in a single purchase. Both uses are included in all Salem Health reference. Purchasers of Salem's health-related printed reference products are entitled to complimentary access to the full content of the print reference. It's that simple.

Any school or library with reference content included in Salem's health database is entitled to online access to that content. This access is an inherent part of our product.

Past purchases qualify, so if you failed to activate your earlier purchases, you can do so now. Schools and libraries aren't required to buy any new titles. Customer's content, the reference on shelves right now, is available throughout a system and remotely. Access is unlimited. Immediately. The list below includes all of the reference sets that are included in Salem Health. Any that you own can be made available to you online at no charge.

Getting Started
To initiate access to your Salem reference online takes minutes. Those with prior purchases of Salem reference activate their access to that content with a phone call. Just dial (800) 221-1592. We'll take it from there.

But you can activate on your own. All Salem Health titles have an "Activation Number" bound into the inside back cover of Volume 1 of the printed set. This number is used to activate your online account. The number is unique to each printed set and can only be used by one school, college or library. For complete instructions, click here.

New Editions
While a substantial number of our current and past reference is available now, Salem will be updating some of this work in the future. When a title is updated, customers must purchase the new edition to have access to it online. Past editions - once replaced by revised editions - will not be available in Salem databases.

Ongoing Access
With the exception of new editions mentioned above, online access to your content is permanent. That is, it never expires, no matter how much or how little Salem reference you've purchased.

However, the ongoing cost of the "platform" we maintain will require some small maintenance fee. If for some reason three years pass from the date of your last purchase in any of our databases, you may continue to have access in either of two ways: a) pay $100 per year per platform in maintenance fees or b) purchase one title in each platform you'd like to maintain. One purchase per platform assures ongoing free access to all the titles a library owns in that platform for an additional three years. Also, note that this ongoing access is for all of the titles you own in an entire database. For instance, all of your library's titles in Salem History, no matter how many you own, are available under this ongoing access policy.

Current Users
Thousands of schools, colleges and libraries currently use Salem's online platforms to bring their patrons and students reference content online, in libraries and at home. Many others, who have qualifying Salem reference in their collections now, can activate and use that content online, at no cost. And, of course, new titles will be added to all our databases every month.

Complete Collections
Schools and libraries with incomplete collections of Salem Health may buy all missing titles at the special "Collection Development" discount of 20% off the list price.

Extraordinary Value
The pricing, distribution and effective costs of this resource are remarkable. Smaller libraries and high schools will be able to provide extensive online health reference at a very low cost. Larger institutions, especially multiple-branch libraries, will find that a single set of the printed Magill's Medical Guide, Salem Health: Cancer, Salem Health: Psychology & Mental Health, or Salem Health: Genetics & Inherited Conditions will deliver online access at every branch. (Systems with more than seven library buildings may require more than one printed set to allow universal access across their entire system. Please call for details.) The print with electronic combination will make teaching research a more robust experience. And having both forms available will provide those who prefer one over the other the resource they want.
