Ebsco Database Problems- Use these links

We are randomly encountering error messages along with screen formatting problems when using Ebsco databases (Academic Search Premier, Business Source Premier, MLA, GeoRef, etc.) The most common problem is an error message: "Application level exception". Ebsco has been notified of the problem.

A new "improved" Ebsco interface seems to be incompatible with our proxy server (the mechanism which authenticates CC users with the Ebsco databases. ) Internet Explorer users appear to have more trouble than Firefox users, but all encounter occasional problems. A temporary solution is to use the links listed below. These links will only work ON CAMPUS.

TIGER down - August 9

TIGER will be undergoing a hardware upgrade on Thursday, August 9. Expect the TIGER library catalog to be inaccessible all day. You may still look up our library holdings using Prospector, though you will not be able to request any items while TIGER is down.

TIGER also functions as our "proxy server," so the usual off-campus access to our licensed databases (i.e. Academic Search Premier, JSTOR) will be unavailable as well. You may still access those databases using these direct database links if you are on-campus.

TIGER should be back up by the end of the day. If you have any questions, please contact Carol Ou, Systems Librarian at 389-6895. You can also reach Circulation at 389-6184 or Reference at 389-6662 for help.
