Preceptor Policy

Preceptors for the College of Health Professions, College of Pharmacy, and College of Nursing are granted access to select databases subscribed to by the Mercer University Libraries, as allowed by the university’s licenses for these products. Access to these databases is a privilege granted to preceptors because of their educational contributions to Mercer University.

Conditions attached to these privileges are:

1. Passwords are to be used for teaching responsibilities only.
2. There must be absolutely no commercial use of the information obtained from the databases.
3. Passwords are non-distributable and reasonable precautions must be taken to preserve password security at all times.
4. Use of passwords is contingent upon your continuous participation as a preceptor for Mercer University.

Failure to adhere to these conditions may result in the immediate termination of access to these passwords and all library resources.

Preceptor accounts are valid for three years. To renew your access, you will need to complete a new Preceptor Access Form and submit it to the Director of Experiential Education for your program.

Preceptors do not have access to the physical facilities of the University Libraries and they cannot borrow physical items.
