How does one open this database? 10/28/2009 11:29 AM | pat northey

A quick way to get into the database from here is just to click the link in the blog post above.

In general, when you want to open a database, begin at the Library Webpage and then click Databases & Articles. You can find the database in the alphabetical list or the list of faculties and subjects. When you find your database in the list, click the title and then click the "Connect" button.

If you are accessing the database from a home computer check that you are logged in with your username and password. This will ensure successful access to your chosen database.

If you are still having problems you can either ask at the Library Enquiry Desk or use the Help button on the database Connect page to contact a Librarian who can answer any further queries you might have.

Thanks for your question. I hope that information is of some help.
