Administrative: The administrative system restricts institutional accounts to either IP ranges or referring URLs to authenticate users. Institutional subscribers should be able to use both methods of authentication concurrently (e.g. IP authentication for on-campus users, while off-site users are authenticated via referring URL).
WORKAROUND: ALA can set up multiple admin accounts for a single institutional subscriber–one to provide IP authentication, another for referring URLs to authenticate users. (4/29/2009)

Browse Results: Editor’s Guides, introductory essays in Guide to Reference, mistakenly appear as entries in browse results.

Browse/Search Results – Narrow by Category: After any Narrow by Category filters have been applied to browse/search results, user cannot remove filters or back out of the narrowed results using browser’s “Back” button.
In search results, “Back” button appears to remove Narrow by Category filter. But when a new Narrow by Category filter is applied to the results set the new result is zero entries.
In browse results, “Back” button returns user to Browse Categories screen.

Export/Print/Email: Sort order of entries when exported, printed or emailed does not match the sort order of those same entries displayed on screen prior to being exported/printed/emailed. Neither user’s preferred sort order (specified in User Profile) nor the Guide to Reference site’s default sort (i.e. title) is being applied to exported, printed or emailed entries at this time.
