Can't access an electronic resource? Check your WiFi

Answer

As a last resort when trying to determine why you can't access an electronic journal, electronic book, or database licensed by the Purdue University Libraries, you may want to check your WiFi settings or router to make sure there aren't any issues with those pieces of technology. In particular, you may need to set your WiFi settings so that they don't prohibit advertisements. If that doesn't resolve the problem you are seeing you may want to try logging off your WiFi altogether and accessing the Libraries' web site (and the licensed resources) via a mobile phone "hot spot."
