Can’t access a particular EBSCO database? Here’s help!

It can be very frustrating when an EBSCO database you need on the Digital Pipeline doesn’t seem to be working or is unavailable. You have passwords and it still doesn’t work. Help is available!

First gather up the following information:

    The type of error situations - blank screens, time outs, error codes (make sure to record the code), etc.
    What you are seeing when navigating around the database
    The frequency of the errors - once, several times, frequently

If the database is an EBSCO product, you can contact the EBSCO Tech Support staff either by phone or by email. For telephone assistance, contact Tech Support  at (800) 758-5995 during their open hours:

    Monday-Friday 12 am - 4 pm (4 am - 8 pm EST)
    Saturday-Sunday 5 am - 1 pm (9 am- 5 pm EST)

You can leave a message if you call outside their open hours and they will return your call as soon as possible.

For email Tech Support, go to their Contact Us web form at:

Note: EBSCO Tech Support cannot respond to problems with the following non-EBSCO databases:

Facts for Learning
Facts on File Issues & Controversies
Facts on File Today’s Science
Facts on File World Almanac
Facts on File World Almanac Encyclopedia
Facts on File World News Digest
Heritage Quest Online

Please contact ALN if you have problems with those databases. Click on the Contact Us button at the top of this page for contact information.

Remember that Alaskans can always get the passwords to log into the Digital Pipeline by calling 1-800-440-2919.
