🎄 OCLS will close for Christmas and the New Year starting Monday, December 23, at 5 pm (ET).🎄
We reopen Thursday, January 2, at 8 am (ET).
The databases and tutorials are available 24/7.
Librarians may not be available during all open hours but will answer ASAP.
I am having trouble viewing PDFs in EBSCOhost and ProQuest databases.
I am using Google Chrome, and the PDFs won't open in my browser.
Note: This information addresses a Google Chrome setting that causes issues reading a PDF article in databases.
The Google Chrome browser comes with a built-in PDF viewer.
If a setting in Google Chrome gets changed, the PDF will download instead of being embedded in the database.
This appears to be a problem only with Google Chrome. Embedded PDFs in the databases will work with Firefox.
You can get around this problem by changing the PDF document setting in Google Chrome.
After following those steps, you should be able to view PDFs within library databases--without even having to restart your browser!
