EBSCO databases off campus issues



Some of you may have experienced some problems accessing Academic Search Complete and Hospitality & Tourism Complete off campus even after authenticating via the 'search all resources' button with your student login. We hope to have the specific issue with these two databases fixed as soon as possible.

In the meantime you can still access these two EBSCO databases off campus by logging in via the 'search all resources' button - clicking on any other EBSCO database (Business Source Complete, Computers & applied sciences complete, Film & television literature index) this will bring up the full list of EBSCO databases DBS subscribes to - then just click on Academic Search or Hospitality & Tourism and you should be able to access the database with no additional password requests.

An update will be posted as soon as the issue with direct off campus access to these two databases has been fixed. If you have any additional problems logging into databases off campus email laura.rooney@dbs.ie and I'll see what I can do to help.
