Online Learning @ PAC for STUDENTS: Troubleshooting Tips

Accessing e-resources from off campus

To access e-resources (article, e-book, film) while off campus, once you click on the database title you will see a screen where you will enter your ACES ID and your BANNER ID to verify that you are a PAC student, staff or faculty member.

If you have any issues or experience an issue logging into the e-resources, contact the Library Reference Desk via Chat or send an email to pac-ref@alamo.edu.

Link from Palomino Source is not working

Problem: When clicking on the green button that is supposed to take you to the ebook, video, or article, you get to a page with an error message.

Possible solution: Click on the title of ebook, video, article (in Palomino Search) scroll to Access Online (see image on left).

In many cases the same item is available from another source/vendor. Try and see if any of the other "View full text" links work.

If that doesn't work: Click on "Report a broken link" (yellow highlight) and fill in the form. The E-resource librarian will respond to the email generated. She can almost always find you a copy of the article. And we can work on getting the broken link fixed.
