What can I do if I'm having trouble accessing a library resources?

Answer

Follow the general troubleshooting steps:

  1. VPN: Are you connected to the Software VPN using the UCIFull Group?
    1. If no or unsure, refer to Connect from Off Campus (VPN) for troubleshooting tips.
    2. If yes, go to step 2: Availability.
  2. Availability: Is the resource currently available from the Libraries? Search for a title in UC Library Search and look for the phrases Available Online, Download PDF, or Available at [Library location].
    1. If no, submit an Interlibrary Loan (ILL) request.
    2. If yes, clear your browser's cache and cookies and try again, or try a different browser.
      • If unsuccessful, please submit a report so the Libraries can look into the issue further.
