Accessing Library Resources
Library resources are found here:
Still having trouble?
First, ensure you are using your browser's most up-to-date version. Supported browsers include Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. Library resources no longer support Microsoft IE and Mosaic. Other browsers, such as Opera and Vivaldi, may or may not work.
All library resources require you to authenticate or log in with your BYUH username and password. The screen should look like this:
If the screen looks different than the above, there could be a problem.
Your authentication does get "stale" after a few hours, and you may need to log in (authenticate) again. Close the tab and re-open the resource to re-authenticate with your BYUH credentials.
Still having trouble?
Save your work in any other open tabs, close the entire browser, and restart the browser. If you are still having trouble, you may need to clear the cache on your browser. See the instructions below.
