If you are having problems accessing Library Search or Ara databases or other links in My Ara, then try clearing your browsing data for at least the last four weeks or longer. On a Windows computer, use the keyboard keys Ctrl, Shift and Delete to clear your browsing data and Ctrl, Shift and CMD on a Mac.
If that still doesn't solve the issue then try accessing from a New InPrivate Window or New Incognito Window in your browser.
- In your Edge web browser click the three dots in the top right corner and choose New InPrivate Window
- In Chrome click the three dots in the top right corner and click New Incognito Window.
This will force you to use your login details to access each time as this browser option does not store your data. If you have forgotten your Ara login details ring ICT (number below) with your Student ID handy and ask for your password to be reset.
Then retry to access Library Search from My Ara.
Still no luck? Access this direct link to Library Search and see if it works.
