It is also possible that a firewall or anti-spyware utility installed on your computer is set to block cookies. You can test to see if this is happening by turning off the firewall and/or anti-spyware utility temporarily to see if you are then able to log in to the library's web site. If that works, you can set undmedlibrary.org as a trusted site in your firewall/anti-spyware.

Just like print journals, electronic journals are produced by a variety of publishers. These publishers can either be professional societies or commercial companies. Journals can also be provided collectively through a commercial aggregator company such as ProQuest, which negotiates with individual publishers to provide multiple titles. Each provider of a title creates the method by which you interact/interface with them and determines the format of the actual text. The current standard text formats include ASCII (plain text without graphics), HTML (looks different than the print, prints more pages than the print equivalent, and has hyperlinks) or PDF (looks just like a snapshot of the print, and requires Acrobat Reader).

In addition to the interface and text format, the number of years covered by an ejournal varies, as does the currency of the information provided. Aggregators, like ProQuest, are often several weeks to a month behind since they acquire the data from the publishers and reformat it into HTML. Conversely, some publishers are providing the electronic copy prior to the equivalent print issue.

For journals that aren't available for free, license agreements require the library to electronically screen, or authenticate, for authorized users before allowing access. The most common way to manage electronic authentication is by registering with publishers the official identifying numbers for computers in our buildings. These numbers are known as IP (Internet Protocol) addresses, and the whole group of numbers is known as our IP range. If you access ejournals from computers in our buildings, the IP range is recognized (because it has been registered with the publisher) and access is granted.

If you are connecting to the library's web site from off-campus, your home computer is assigned an IP address that falls outside of our registered range and access is denied. However, if publishers' licenses allow us, we can grant "proxy access" to you when you are away from our buildings.

• Cost - The library does not have enough money to subscribe to all titles electronically. Please contact the Collection Management Librarian with suggestions and comments as to which titles are needed the most.
• Availability - Some titles are not yet available electronically.
• Licensing - Publishers may have license restrictions on usage conditions that we will not accept.
