Off-Campus Database Access Problems

We've currently been experiencing some problems with access to library databases from off-campus. You may have gotten a "502 proxy error" message, or you might just not have been able to access the databases at all.

LexisNexis Academic is unavailable from off-campus until these problems are resolved, but if you are having trouble with any of the other databases, try this:

1. Clear the cookies from your internet browser.
2. Clear the "temporary internet files" from your internet browser.
3. Close your browser and re-open it.
4. Login to MyLibrary and try it again.

Clearing the cookies and temporary files should allow you to access databases from off-campus again, but if you're still having trouble or have questions, please call 349-2414 for more help.

We're working as fast as we can to get these problems solved a.s.a.p.!

Visit Kimbel Library from your home

Are you a student who is currently living off campus? Did you know that you can access the library's databases from the comfort of your own home?

All that you need to do is go to the Kimbel Library home page, and click on MyLibrary.

If you choose the option that says "Click here to go directly to the login page", all that you need to do is enter you name and student ID number (from your CINO card). After that, just click on "Indexes and Online Resources" to choose your favorite database!

While you're in "My Library" you will notice other options available. This is where you can request books through interlibrary loan. You can also review your record to see what items you currently have checked out. (This is also where you can renew those items!)
