How do I...?: Using Viterbo's Library

Troubleshooting

Are you having trouble accessing the library's databases?  Here are some things to try:

  • Make sure you are logging into the database through the library's page.  Databases can be found in the “Research” dropdown.

  • Try using a different browser, such as Firefox, Chrome, or Internet Explorer.
  • Try logging into a different library database; for example, if you are having trouble logging into Academic Search Complete, try a different database, such as JSTOR.  If you can log in to JSTOR, it could be that Academic Search Complete is temporarily down for maintenance.

  • You may want to clear your browser history, cache, and cookies.
  • Are there security systems or a firewall that could be blocking access?  Many workplaces and schools have firewalls in place that could block the library's site.

If you are still having access issues, please email the library at reference@viterbo.edu, or IIT at helpdesk@viterbo.edu.
