Compendium of drug information for the United States published annually by the United States Pharmacopeial Convention. See "more..." for important login information.
USP–NF is a combination of two compendia, the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and the National Formulary (NF). Monographs for drug substances, dosage forms, and compounded preparations are featured in the USP. Monographs for dietary supplements and ingredients appear in a separate section of the USP. Excipient monographs are in the NF.
Free access to the USP-NF is available to U-M Flint students, faculty, and staff as part of the USP Academic Connection program.

Proxy string
If you are denied access to an online resource provided by the Thompson Library, it might be because there is no proxy string in the URL. You can attach the following (including the equals sign) to the front of the URL and try again:
http://libproxy.umflint.edu/login?url=
Example:
http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/3162256 (not accessible off campus)
http://libproxy.umflint.edu/login?url=http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/3162256 (accessible off campus)
If you still cannot gain access, please contact a librarian. It's helpful if you have the the error or denial-of-access page in front of you when you contact us.
DOI: If you have a DOI (digital object identifier) for an article, but not a complete URL, add this to the beginning of the DOI:
You can also visit the DOI link resolver at http://dx.doi.org/ and enter the DOI to get a working URL. You will still need to add the proxy string if you're off campus.
EZProxy Bookmarklet
The EZProxy bookmarklet lets you reload a web page through the Thompson Library’s EZProxy server. If the page you are visiting is one that the library has a subscription for, and you're presently off-campus, then you should get you immediate access to the resource once you've logged in with your uniqname and LAN password.
How Do You Add It?
There's a different method for different browsers:
Right-click on this link Reload with Thompson Library EZProxy Select the "Add to Favorites..." option. You may be warned that you are adding a link which may be unsafe. While some links like this may be unsafe, we believe this one is safe. You can click whichever option is required to continue.
Once you've added this bookmark to your web browser, selecting it will attempt to reload your current page through the Thompson Library's EZProxy. If it's a resource that your UM-Flint affiliation gets you access, you'll pass through a login screen and be granted access to it. Otherwise, you'll get the same page you started with.
Please let us know how well the EZProxy bookmarklet works.
