How do I get passed the security on some of the Libguides databases?
I have tried three browsers to try and access some of the databases on libguides. I get a message that there is no host and that it is not secure. I have turned off my firewall, given permissions, and google chrome and Firefox are all not letting me access the sites. Can you help? I am working on a new MacBook Air.

Hello Mia
To use the library databases you have to be logged into the OU Portal with your OUID and password. You cannot login to them without that. Browsers and devices are not important. So Login to the OU Portal, my ottawa.ottawa.edu and find the library database page on the Gangwish Library Page. If you are logged into the portal the databases will be available to you.
Thanks.
