I'm having trouble accessing the online library.
Why isn't my log in working? What does this research.strayer.edu error mean?
Answer
The root cause for a library database or resource not loading is most often related to browser cookies and not an error with the website.
Our browsers store cookies each time we visit a website or log in to a service. Periodically our browsers will have too many cookies and they'll conflict. The result is a website failing to load and appearing to be broken.
First: Be patient with us on this, but triple check your username and password. You may accidentally using an old password.
- Triple check you are using the correct username and password.
- Manually type your username and password. Try the site again.
- Consider resetting your password. Try again.
Second: In your preferred browser, start with these troubleshooting steps.
- Clear the browser's cookies and cache.
- Restart the browser.
- Try the site again.
You can restart your computer instead of manually clearing cookies and cache. Your browser may be set to clear when the machine restarts.
Third: If clearing cookies in your preferred browser did not work, try in each of the major browsers.
- Mozilla Firefox
- Google Chrome
- Microsoft Edge
Fourth: If trying Firefox, Chrome, and Edge browsers did not solve the problem, try accessing the website using private or incognito windows in each browser.
- Google Chrome offers incognito mode
- Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge offer private mode
Five: If private windows in Firefox, Chrome, and Edge did not work, repeat the strategies above on a different device.
