All, some of you may have heard from your patrons that they are not able to access the databases in DelAWARE. The script that authenticates the patrons is no longer functioning and we are trying to fix it. The databases all work fine in the library so you would not have noticed anything was wrong. This is really a bigger problem for the patrons in the New Castle and Wilmington systems because “da da dah” (fanfare, streamers). Patrons in the Delaware Library Catalog can access the databases from home by logging into i-Bistro at the top of the screen in the purple field and clicking on the Magazines & More link. This link only appears after the patron has logged in.
Once logged in the patrons can go to any database by clicking on the link to that resource. The databases open in a new browser window so they can jump back and forth from the databases and catalog. The Ebsco Business link is giving us some problems but the link to all the Ebsco databases works so you can get to the business resources from there. Be sure to let all your patrons know of this resource.
