I received the message patron record could not be located when I entered my last name and UMID number . We have provided more information on UMID numbers. I'm asked for my name and UMID number whenever I connect to the library or University web site, even when I'm not trying to access the research databases . When the proxy settings are active, you will be asked to validate whenever you access the library web site. The proxy address will be saved so you can select it when you need to access a database.
Reliability is spotty.
These links may not work for you, or you might find that not all database features work. Access via Wizard First Search databases are also available through a method that uses the search system of Wizard, the library catalog. Logins are limited, as are search features. We recommend using the proxy server access whenever possible for the best results in searching library databases from off campus. The library can't help with general Internet access problems.
