Troubleshooting:

Some electronic resources have a limited number of simultaneous users. If you get a "too many users" or "access denied" message when you try to connect, this may be the problem. Wait a few minutes and try again.

If you are using the libraries' electronic resources from off-campus and are asked for a password, or get an "access denied" message, make sure that you have configured your computer to use our proxy server or to use BU as an Internet provider. (instructions)

Not all of our resources are available via the proxy server. Check for a -px designation on our list of indexes and databases.

If you're still having problems accessing an electronic resource, please contact a librarian for more help.
