If you have already logged in to a digital resource collection and you are having trouble viewing the collection, there are a few possible solutions:

  • Clean your browser’s cache and history and then close all browser windows and try again.
  • If that doesn’t work and you have another browser on your computer, try to access the digital resource collection from there (e.g. if you are using Explorer try using Firefox).
  • Make sure your browser settings are enabled to accept cookies.
  • Contact the Library (via telephone or email). Please record the error message that you are receiving as well as the names of the digital resource collection that you have tried so that the staff member can identify your problem and resolve it faster.
