Frequently Asked Questions
about Institutional Subscriptions
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:
Perhaps your institution has not yet activated its institutional subscription to Chest Online. Notify your library that you would like access to Chest Online, and encourage your librarian to activate the online subscription. Another possibility is that the unique IP (Internet Protocol) address of your machine is not being recognized by the online access sytem. Your institution may not have included your IP address when the administrator activated the online subscription. You may notify you librarian or subscription administrator that you would like access to CHEST Online and refer him or her to the portion of our web site that explains institutional subscription activation.
Authorized users (faculty, registered students, staff, and on-site visitors) may access CHEST Online from registered IP addresses located at your institution.
An Institution is all parts of an organization that report to the same Chief Academic Officer or Chief Executive Officer. Please note that membership organizations are not considered Institutions and should contact CHEST directly if they are interested in obtaining a site license.
When someone attempts to use Chest 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 Chest Online simultaneously.
If readers want to access Chest 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.
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, all content archives, 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 join the American College of Chest Physicians as a member and access Chest Online as part of our membership benefits.
Yes, institutions can subscribe only to the electronic version or to a combined print and electronic subscription.
Yes, institutions and individuals will be able to receive the paper version for the foreseeable future. Additional paper subscriptions are available to institutional subscribers who already have a combined print and online subscription and wish to have additional paper subscriptions sent to multiple institutional sites.
Yes, when you buy a subscription to Chest Online, you will have access to all years of the database.
You may purchase Chest as an Individual (Non-Member) subscriber or you may wish to apply for ACCP 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. You can also purchase access to individual articles or full single issues using our pay-per-view options or purchase limited access to the full site (for 30 days).
For further information, please contact the ACCP headquarters.
Office hours are 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM Central Standard Time.
