- Are you using the correct link? Are you clicking on a link that is not on the library website, such as an online course, an instructor's course materials, etc.? If so, try locating the resource directly from the library website.
- Did a message like the example below display after clicking on a resource? If so, please take a screenshot or copy and paste the error and submit it to us using the Problem Report Form. This message indicates that the resource needs to be added to our proxy system and we will work on correcting that as soon as possible.
