Troubleshooting

Here are possible solutions to problems you may have when accessing databases from home:

  • Not registered for any courses this semester

If this is the case, contact the Ask Us! desk or Circulation Desk at Webster Library or Vanier Library.

Browser problem

Try using a different browser. For example, if you are using Chrome, try using Firefox instead.
