Why am I
unable to access some of the Internet sites listed on the ADHB Library
Links web pages?
From your ADHB computer you will
either have full access to the Internet, or access to the ADHB Intranet
only. If you have Intranet only access you may not be able to access some
of the Internet links included on the ADHB Library Links web pages.
The Library try to add as much Internet content as possible to the local ADHB
server so that websites can be accessed even if staff don't have full
Internet access but this is not possible for all sites.
You can apply for full Internet access through the ADHB I.S. department
using the application form located here.
You should however discuss this with your departmental manager first as
you will need to have your application authorized.
If you already have full Internet access but are still unable to access
Internet sites listed on the library web pages, please report this by e-mailing
library staff.
