In some cases, Norton Firewall or similar firewall software may be preventing you from seeing the correct login screen for a database linked from the library website. The database may ask for a UserID and Password rather than asking for a Library Card or only a password.   Please follow the information below or refer to the instructions for your firewall software to adjust the firewall and allow the site to function properly. If you have any more difficulties accessing this resource, contact the IT Coordinator at the Coeur d'Alene Public Library @ 208-769-2315.
