COLUMBIA GRANGERS WORLD OF POETRY
Reports of access problems using Chrome browser. Try Firefox or another browser.
EBSCO DATABASES INCLUDING EBOOKS and OneSearch
EBSCO DATABASES "LINKED FULL TEXT" (including OneSearch)
Linked Full Text may produce an error. WORKAROUND: Search for the journal in either the Catalog or E-Journals tab, and then search for the article within the journal site. NOTE: IF WE DON'T HAVE A SUBSCRIPTION THE JOURNAL WILL NOT APPEAR IN ANY SEARCH RESULTS. In general, if you get an error message clear your history/cache/cookies or try a different browser.
E-JOURNALS PORTAL (SERIALS SOLUTIONS) AND ARTICLE LINKER ONGOING MAINTENANCE
Once per month (typically the 3rd Sunday) beginning at 2:00am, the provider will perform server maintenance expected to last 2-3 hours. E-journals and article linker may be temporarily unavailable during this time period.
HEIN ONLINE
Content not included in Catalog, only OneSearch. Use OneSearch or go directly to the Database listed on the H Tab.
ILLIAD
ILLiad migrated to a new server in 2023 and there may be some ongoing glitches. If you get an error message when trying to link out to the system, click here to go directly to the site.
ONESEARCH AND BROWSER TRACKING
OneSearch may become unresponsive due to problems with browser tracking. If error messages appear: change your privacy/security settings to strict / do not track; refresh your page. In general, if you get an error message clear your history/cache/cookies or try a different browser.
ONESEARCH LINKED FULL TEXT and FULL TEXT LIMITER
Linked Full Text may produce an error. WORKAROUND: Search for the journal in either the Catalog or E-Journals tab, and then search for the article within the journal site. NOTE: IF WE DON'T HAVE A SUBSCRIPTION THE JOURNAL WILL NOT APPEAR IN ANY SEARCH RESULTS.
The Full Text limiter may include results that do not link out to a journal. This typically means we may have licensing to the journal, but not to the year(s) in question. See above re: searching the E-Journals tab to verify.
In general, if you get an error message clear your history/cache/cookies or try a different browser.
PDFs / OPENING OF LINKS
Some browsers may prevent opening of links and/or PDFs. WORKAROUND for links: Right-click the link and choose "Open link in new tab" WORKAROUND for PDFs: Some PDFs may not open in the embedded viewer and trigger an error message; click on download icon found in viewer window. Other times "Download PDF" may be an option to be selected. Or you may need to right click Download button and select 'save link as'
SCIENCE DIRECT (ARTICLE LINKER)
If you get an error message clear your history/cache/cookies or try a different browser. As an alternative, if you know the journal title then try searching for it in the Library Catalog or the E-Journals tab.
SCIENCE DIRECT (PDF DOWNLOADS)
Downloading of multiple articles or an entire issue requires logging-in to your personal ScienceDirect account (do not attempt to sign-in via the INSTITUTION link). Individual article downloads are possible without logging-in to ScienceDirect.
SKILLSOFT BOOKS (BOOKS24X7)
If you cannot access a Skillsoft ebook from the catalog link, search for the title directly in the Books24x7 database.
