Update: EBSCO Access

We continue to work on the problem discovered by students trying to access EBSCOHost databases, Academic Search Premier, Education Research Complete, from their laptops using Bradford. Access to these databases using computers in the library and Patterson 200 lab, and off campus are not affected, please use these computer resources until we have resolved the problem.

Thank you for your patience.

Bradford Network: On campus access

On campus students using their laptops to access library databases via the Bradford Networks are experiencing problems; the network is not recognizing the proxy as on-campus or prompting login as an off-campus user.

We recommend you access databases through the OhioLINK web site.

• Alphabetical listing of databases
• Databases by Subject or Field
• Databases by Type

This may or may not be a result of the new Bradford Network system. View the IT FAQ brochure to learn more. Please note the following update for returning students using the old Bradford Network system:

ATTENTION RETURNING STUDENTS: BEFORE you connect your computer to our network using wired OR wireless, you MUST UNINSTALL the Bradford Persistent Agent.-- IT FAQ Page

Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve this problem.
