Off campus database access problems

24 April, 2008

We are currently experiencing widespread problems accessing our databases from off campus.  It’s not a problem for everyone off campus, and there are no problems on campus.  At this stage we haven’t identified the cause, but are working hard on it.

If you having problems, one thing that may help is clearing your browser cache and cookies.

In the meantime, if you are able to you could come on campus to use our resources.  Our apologies for the inconvenience this is causing.
