Problems with Remote Access to ReferenceUSA:

If you type in your library barcode and are forwarded to the ReferenceUSA Web site but are presented with  ReferenceUSA's username/password challenge page.

This is usually a problem with the settings in your computer or Web browser.  Here are some possibilities:
Make sure your Web browser is set up to accept "cookies."  Cookies are small text files saved on your machine and ReferenceUSA uses them for authentication.  

In Internet Explorer, the cookie settings are usually found under Tools-->Internet Options. 
If you are using Microsoft XP with Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 6.0 you may need to modify your default browser cookie handling configuration settings to resolve this issue. The steps to accomplish this are outlined below.

Open a new Microsoft Internet Explorer browser session.
Click on the Tools drop-down menu and select Internet Options…
When the Internet Options window appears click on the Privacy tab, then the Advanced… button.
When the Advanced Privacy Settings window appears, place a check in the checkbox next to 'Override automatic cookie handling'. Click OK on the Advanced Privacy Settings window and Internet Options window to close.

With the rise in popularity of cable modems, DSL and other high-speed Internet connections, more and more people are deploying a variety of personal firewalls and/or Internet security software packages (i.e. Norton Internet Security, LynkSys Firewall, etc.)  Try temporally disabling your firewall software and connecting again*.

If you are using Windows XP, it has a built in firewall which you may need to disable.  On you computer go to your Start button an then to Help and Support.  Search for "Firewall" to see detailed instructions on how to disable and enable the Windows XP firewall.

For more help, please read the HELP instructions on the ReferenceUSA login webpage.
