Birth Date: MMDD (for example, if your birth date is July 4, it is 0704)
Having trouble logging in?
- Forgot your MUID number? Check MUID Lookup.
- Turn off Marshall's VPN client. This can interfere with logging on to the databases.
- If you use AOL 8 or older (America Online), minimize the AOL window while logged on and use Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Opera to connect to a database. This problem is fixed in AOL 9.
- Use the links from the Libraries' homepage (http://www.marshall.edu/library), NOT links through either WebCT/VISTA or MyMU -- the libraries' databases can't be accessed from WebCT/VISTA or MyMU.
- Report Login Problem.
- For immediate help, call the Reference Desk at (304) 696-2334.
Web Browser Details
- JAVA must be enabled.
- Cookies must be accepted.
- Bookmarking Library databases does not work because the Library uses a proxy server to provide off-campus access to most databases. The best way is to start from the Libraries homepage, click on Articles, and then select an article database.
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0+, Firefox 1.0+, or Opera 6+, are recommended.
- Macintosh or Apple PCs may experience problems accessing these resources.
- ProQuest displays errors using Opera, but is functional. IE and Firefox work fine.
- Lexis Nexis does not perform searches in Opera.
