Unable to login to my EBSCO account


To fix the inability to login to an ESCO account from MegaSearch, you will need to open an incognito/private window in your browser. Navigate to MegaSearch and login again. This will resolve the "block" in your browser, and you'll be able to login normally after this.

If you continue to experience this error, please reach out to us at library.resources@utas.edu.au.
