InfoTrac Database PDF Downloads
Students,
If you are using our SuperHomer stations in the library and conducting a search within the Infotrac OneFile database, you may encounter a problem with downloading .pdf documents from your search results list. You may get a “adobe plug-in is needed” message when you select the .pdf link.
To work around this problem:
1. click on the Document Title (as if your were going to read the html version or abstract)
2. click on the .pdf link from within the page
3. the .pdf should open up normally
If you are still experiencing problems with retreiving your document ask one of reference librarians for assistance.

Printing to Card_B&W from circulating Laptops
Attention students,
Some of the library’s circulating laptops are not printing to the CARD_B&W Print station at the reference desk. If you find that you are unable to print to the CARD_B&W Print station from our laptops, you can still choose CASH_B&W as your print output.
What you should do is just select Cash_B&W, retrieve your print job (at the circulation desk) and inform the staff at the desk. Don’t forget to have your HuskyCard/UConn ID with you! Our staff will be able to deduct the cost from your card.
Thank you,
Library Staff
