ReplyDeleteHi. Could you try clearing your cache and cookies and then trying again? http://wok.mimas.ac.uk/faq/answers.html#Q6.5
ReplyDeletenothing works - why does this seem to happen to aston all the time?
ReplyDeleteThe Shibboleth and Athens login systems are used by the majority of higher education institutions and subsequently any problems that Aston stduents/staff have with accessing online resources are often replicated elsewhere. If you are having problems logging in to a specific resource, please contact us at library@aston.ac.uk with details and we will try to help.
ReplyDeleteUpdate from Web of Knowledge: If you've tried the URL above and still get error messages, try this route:
ReplyDeleteGo to:
http://sub3.isiknowledge.com/error/Error?Domain=isiknowledge.com&Error=IPError&Src=IP&PathInfo=%2F&RouterURLhttpf3A%2F%2Fisiknowledge.com
- Select 'Shibboleth authentication'.
- Select 'UK Federation' from the 'Select your institution's group or regional affiliation' drop down box.
- Search for Aston University.
- Enter university username and password.
If the error message persists, try clearing the cache and cookies from your web browser (further information available in the FAQ: http://wok.mimas.ac.uk/faq/answers.html#Q6.5) and then close and re-open the browser before trying to access again as above.
The link at the top worked for me.
