Known Issue: Off-Campus Access to Facts on File (Solved)

Off-campus users may find that they cannot access Facts on File/Facts.com databases (Issues and Controversies, Issues and Controversies in American History and Today's Science), even after logging in through Blackboard. We are aware of the problem and are working on fixing it. We will post an update here when we have it working again. We do currently have access from on campus, so you are welcome to come visit us if you need to use one of Facts resources.

Thank you for your patience!

Update:
As of Monday, Dec. 5, access to the Facts.com resources seems to be restored. If you are trying to get access and can't, please contact us by chat, email or phone. Thank you!

Known Issue: Off-Campus Access Through Safari (Solved)

Students, faculty and staff trying to access the LRC's electronic resources off-campus through the most recent version of the Safari web browser, including Safari for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, may not be able to get through to our databases or e-books. For desktop and laptop users, we recommend using Firefox. For mobile users, we recommend trying an alternate browser like Opera Mini or Mercury. We are looking for a better solution, and will post an update here when we find one. Thanks for your patience!

Update:
As of December 8, we have restored access through Safari. If you are trying to use our e-resources from off-campus in Safari, however, and are getting an error message about cookies, please contact us.
