Difficulty Using Resources Off Campus? | Use Firefox/Safari/Edge

Posted on December 16, 2020January 25, 2021 by Sarah Andrews

If you are having trouble accessing library resources while using the Chrome browser off campus, please try using a different web browser.

Chrome is the most secure web browser, and some library resources do not yet comply with the latest changes. 

  • You may receive “bad gateway” messages when trying to open articles, ebooks, or library databases.
  • You may have difficulty accessing PubMed, Web of Science or other tools.

If you still have difficulty accessing library resources, please contact us for help.
