And the reply re the password is:

Nope its valid until the 22nd February when these issues should be resolved.

So there it is, just use tuesday (without a capital t) to access the site and all is well.

Nope!....still no luck!
Did you give them your barcode no.? Perhaps they gave you a password that they linked to your barcode??

No I just sent an e-mail to the UK Sales Manager - Always go right to the top is my motto.  ::)

The response came from a solutions consultant with the following e-mail address:

emea.globaltech@cengage.com

Suggest you e-mail them and just say you can't access their site with your library password and is there a problem.

Hi,

I have just tried it via my Lancashire Library barcode and it appears to be working now.

Regards,

Hi all,

Thanks for all the responses - I was so miserable about this I had to log out of Rootschat & go for a haircut!  ;D

Not really, I was going anyway,,, 'tuesday' isn't working for me either, but at least now I know it isn't just me.  Well done LizzieW - silly me thinking the library would know about any glitches in the library service  ::)
