Hi Stephanie,

 

I want to remind everybody about the option for remote access that we developed with EBSCO to allow access to EBSCO’s researchIT CT databases back in March.

We worked with our vendors to temporarily provide remote access to researchIT databases without requiring library card authentication. EBSCO has created a list of temporary links that can be used by patrons and students who don't have a library card at this time.

 

I have attached links that can be used if students or patrons are having trouble accessing researchIT databases.

 

The links should provide access using geolocation authentication. If that fails, it should prompt the user for a user name and password.

 

EBSCO has provided the following universal password that can be used in that case.

username: ctlibresearch

password: Spring20!

 

As always, if students are onsite at the school or at a public library, access will be provided through IP recognition without the need to enter a library card number.

 

Best,

Brad ​​

Hi Group Brain Trust!

Has anyone made decisions on how to connect students with the state library online resources yet?
