• You must have 'Cookies' enabled on your browser. This will ensure that the system will recognize you after you enter your barcode just once despite how many databases you use during your browser session.
• If your username/password works for logging into Moodle or computers on campus, but does not work for logging into our databases, try a password reset. This often triggers library database access.
• If you use any type of chain to automatically save passwords, you will need to make sure that is updated to your changes. Library databases are unavailable from a VPN connection. Please use a direct internet connection for their use.
