Why isn't my login for the databases working? I'm at ELA / Kasteel Well / off-campus and I need access.

If you are at ELA (on or off campus), off-campus elsewhere in the US, or abroad you may encounter access issues.


Answer

Here's a few of the more common reasons:

  1. Browser or cache issues:
    1. Try using a private/incognito window or a different browser
    2. Try clearing your browser's cache
  2. Are you using a VPN (virtual private network)? Enabling or disabling a VPN on your computer may solve the problem.
    1. Emerson VPN
    2. Accessing Gmail From Other Countries
  3. You are an alumni. Unfortunately, our subscription licenses will not allow alumni access from off-campus.
  4. Some of our databases do not work overseas. If you are studying abroad contact reference@emerson.edu and we will address your specific issue 

There are many other possible reasons. Contact elena_omalley@emerson.edu or reference@emerson.edu.
