• In some cases, the Library only has access to selected years of a journal online, even though additional years are available on the publisher's web site. This is a common issue with journals on Science Direct, Wiley, and other platforms. Check the library catalog, for complete holdings information. Even if the journal if not online, we may have the issue you need in paper.

Many of the Library's databases allow only a limited number of simultaneous users. If you get a message that too many users are on the system already, wait a few minutes and then try to connect again. The busiest times of day are from 10AM - 4PM; access is best in the early mornings and evenings.

The Library tries to stretch resource funds to purchase the best mix of electronic resources for all users. If you feel that an important resource is frequently busy and unavailable for your research, please let us know.
