We are temporarily experiencing some problems accessing some of our library databases from off-campus. It is not at the fault of the database website. They are indeed secure and will not put any of your information at risk. The problem is with our on-campus proxy server. We are working with our I.T. department to resolve it. In the meantime, please follow these steps to access the databases affected:
1. When you click on one of the affected databases from off-campus, you will see an error messages similar to this:

2. To get access to the database, click on "Advanced." Click on "Proceed to *insert name of database here*" and then click "Continue" in the box that pops up.
3. If the above steps do not take you to the database, do not proceed further and contact us at erin.sanchez@bryan.edu.
