New System for Patron access to most Premium Sites, as well as Gale or EBSCO eBooks found in the Catalog. IMPORTANT - With the new system is a new Login
Screen!
Until June 24th, users
could actually use the familiar Library Account screen and even enter their Username and PIN
to Login to a Premium Site. BUT ever since
June 25th things are
different. Users cannot first Login
to their Library Account and then directly access a database like Value Line or Mango. Logging in to their
Library Account doesn’t matter now, in the case of Premium Sites. And Usernames are now a NoNo - Card Number and PIN required.
What Else is Different
The new screens look distinctly different in color and wording than
the familiar screen patrons use to Login to their Library Account.
Users
*must* use the links on the Premium Sites page or Kids Homework pages, OR the
menu on the Research Portal or Kids Homework - and enter their Card Number and
PIN. No logging in to My Account then going to the link for Mango and getting
passed right into Mango Languages.
But the new system provides a
very nice bonus--once the patron has successfully Logged onto a site like Morningstar with their Library Card and PIN….they won’t need to
enter their information again, when they choose a different resource from the
Premium Sites or Research Portal pages. In fact, depending on how their own
computer/device retains cookies, they may not be asked for Card Number and PIN again for some time.
Outside the Library, you should see this screen, after clicking a link on the Research Portal or
Premium Sites page...or links to some eBooks shown in the Catalog
If you happen to make a typo – you should see this ...
So TRY AGAIN!
