What are the recommended browser settings for accessing library resources such as internet databases or research tools?
Answer
The library encourages all patrons who use our website and our various web-based services to confirm that the following browser settings are configured as suggested below. This will ensure that the resources work optimally.

- Proxy – when working from inside the institute set your browser to work with the institute’s proxy by selecting “auto detect proxy” [IE, Chrome, Firefox, Safari]
- Regularly clean your browsers cache/history – this ensures that you get the most up-to-date version [IE, Chrome, Firefox, Safari]
