IWU OCLS Tutorials: Save EBSCO links - OCLS Support

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. 

• In the Chrome browser, select the three vertical dots in the upper right corner. 
• Choose Settings > Privacy and security. 
• Select Site Settings > scroll down and select Aditional content settings. 
• Select PDF documents. 
• Make sure the Default behavior is set to Open PDFs in Chrome. 

After following those steps, you should be able to view PDFs within library databases--without even having to restart your browser!
