Troubleshooting Remote Access

Check two settings first:
1. COOKIES -- You must have cookies enabled to use remote access. This allows the databases to recognize you
as an MCCC student.

2. POP-UPS -- You must allow pop-ups from the page that has the list of databases. That way you can easily return
to the list, so that you can search other databases.

Mozilla & Netscape users: Edit--> Preferences--> Privacy & Security
Internet Explorer users: Tools--> Internet Options--> Privacy tab

If you continue to have problems after checking your cookies and pop-ups, please fill out the form below.
