Just received a reply from Gale......it seems they are now passing the buck! It reads......You would need to direct your enquiry to the Library as we would be unable to verify if you should be accessing.  There is a technical issue so if the library is not already aware of this can you advise them to email us.
Still awaiting return phonecall from Lancs Library who are oblivious and looking into it for me.
Talk about going round and round in circles!!!!

I can't get in to 19th C Newspapers on Lancs site either by using Membership Number or tuesday.

Tried my Essex library link and it won't recognise my number but lets me in using tuesday!

I've just tried to access Infotrac via my Cheshire and Hull City library cards but I can't get in with either. Using a password of tuesday also doesn't work.
