Having problems accessing the databases?
1. First, check yourself – Did you access the databases in the correct way?
2. If the problem is more complex, try one of the following solutions:
|
Change language and/or Caps Lock Check if your keyboard language is English and the Caps Lock key is not on.
|
|
Incognito window In the browser main menu, open a new window to access the databases.
If you can access the databases via a new Incognito window, you need to delete cookies. See below. |
|
Delete Cookies Be careful not to delete your saved passwords during the cleanup process! How to delete in Google Chrome How to delete in Mozilla Firefox How to delete in Apple Safari After deleting cookies, close all browser windows, reopen, and login again. |
|
Extensions/ Automatic Translation Sometimes one of the browser extensions, or the automatic translation to Hebrew option blocks the page from functioning properly. Try to disable the plugins and/or automatic translation. |
|
Change of Password If all of the above troubleshooting did not help, try changing your password. Link to the password management portal (In Hebrew) for students and faculty. Change the password for other Bar Ilan users who have been granted access to Bar Ilan’s resources. |
