Gale Newspaper Archives through Liverpool card
« on: Wednesday 16 April 14 18:30 BST (UK) »
I had a liverpool library card a few years ago for access to the Gale/Centage Infotrack system.
I have tried to access it today for the first time in 12 months. It is stating that my number is not on their system.
Can someone tell me if it is still working and do I input the number as is shown on the card? mine is LV P********

Thanks, but there is nothing written, I think it was my year of birth though.
I have tried on both IE and Firefox and it comes up with "this does not subscribe to this system"
I have tried with P and p.
I am trying to get in at http://infotrac.galegroup.com/default.

I really need access too.

It`s definitely the capital P ...but the library should have given you a 4 digit password for you to enter when you have typed your P******** card number in
do you have 8 digits after the P ?

Mine is the library card number, just in case it helps, the letter has to be capital for mine.

I have access on two library cards and in each case I just enter the library card number. I understand the password is only required to log in to your account at the library, for reservations, renewals etc.

Yis it is 8 digits, but no number written down but it was my birthday year.
Is it best to use IE or Firefox?
