Database Access Problems

The main library search box is down, as is the link to databases. IT hopes to be able to have a look next week.

To search for books, use this alternative link: http://ucalgary.summon.serialssolutions.com

To access databases, use this A-Z list: http://libguides.ucalgary.ca/aecontent.php?pid=616654&sid=5099453

When asked for "Library Authentication", use your barcode (first 9 digits on the back of your card) and your UCID (without leading zeroes). IT authentication is not working at this time.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
