How do I download book chapters from books in ClinicalKey?
Clinical Key requires you to create a personal account to be able to download PDF versions of book chapters. This is not the same as your Maastricht University account and needs to be created within the database. If you have already created any account for another Elsevier resource (e.g. Scopus) you can use those credentials. If you are a new user click Register Here and create an account. You do not have to register with your Maastricht University email address (if you do, make sure you do not use the same password you use for UM). Once you have created your account, login to be able to download the PDF.
