Troubleshooting

Before reading this diagram, check your IP address.

   
I can't access an ejournal. Why not?
   
   
     
   
No
 
 
Is the title and date you are looking for on the ejournals list?
 
 
Yes
     
     
     
Unfortunately we do not have subscriptions to all ejournals. All those we do subscribe to appear on this list. If an ejournal is not on this list we do not subscribe to it, even if there are others from that service provider that we do subscribe to.
     
 
     
     
     
     
No
     
     
     
     
     
     
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
     
     
     
Check the access table. Some ejournals can only be accessed on-campus. Looking at the table, should you have access?
     
     
     
     
     
If you would like to recommend that we subscribe to a new title, please fill in the recommendation form.
     
     
 
There are licencing restrictions on some ejournals, regulating who can access them and from where. The aim that we are working towards is that all ejournals should be accessible to all current staff and students of the University from all locations - but unfortunately this is not the case at the moment.
 
   
   
   
   
Yes
   
   
   
   
Check Newton. There may be a paper copy in the University that you can view while we consider the recommendation.
 
     
     
     
No
     
     
     
 
 
 
 
     
     
Do you have the right password?
     
     
     
   
See Passwords for Electronic Resources for further details. Passwords to access licensed electronic services are issued only to current staff and students of the University.
 
     
     
     
     
Yes
     
     
     
   
     
Yes
     
 
 
Are you using an ATHENS password?
   
Your password may have expired or be incorrect. Use Raven account instead.
 
     
     
No
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
   
Yes
     
     
     
     
     
     
 
 
Are you using a Raven password?
     
No
     
     
   
Check that your account is set up to provide access to services at http://www.cam.ac.uk/cs/raven/test/athens-testpage.html There are three check boxes corresponding to three tests: If fail and you believe you meet the criteria required - contact lib-raven@lists.cam.ac.uk . If you can log in, there may be a problem with the ejournal.
