-
- Upon making the changes in settings, refresh the browser window. If necessary, re-boot the system and try.
- Online Resources are available 24/7/365…
-
- Not completely true. There are some down times: software upgrade, server maintenance, server backup, server outage. For example, the PALNet server backup Sundays 2am–3am EST. Resources will NOT be available at that time.
-
- All articles in the database offer full-text
-
- Only about 60% of them have full-text online -- rest will show only citation and/or abstract. This gap is rapidly closing as the number of full-text publications grow exponentially.
-
- When you find only abstract/citation, submit a request to the library. We will get you the full article, free of charge.
-
- When database indicated full-text is available, it WILL be there
-
- Publisher/author permissions, and copyright laws may restrict full-text availability of some of the articles in electronic format.
-
- Once I become a Baker student, I will have remote access privileges to online library till I graduate
-
- Not really. Remote access to the resources will be available only when you are taking classes. Access will be discontinued when you are not taking classes and will be re-instated when you take class the next time.
-
- I can access the databases from anywhere in the world, at any time…
-
- Technically yes. But there may be problems when you try to access some of these sites from your workplace because of their firewall and other restrictions.
