Why doesn't my Find It @ FAU menu window appear?

If you use one of the popular "pop-up" blocker utilities it may block the Find It @ FAU menu window; temporarily disable your pop-up blocker, or add the site you're searching (where you found the Find It @ FAU menu button) to your blocker's list of sites from which pop-ups are allowed.

 

When I click on a second option from the Find It @ FAU menu, why don't I see the browser window appear?

This is a problem in Internet Explorer. After clicking on an option in the Find It @ FAU window, IE opens another browser window on top of the one already open. After making a second selection from the Find It @ FAU menu, the second browser window remains hidden. To fix this problem, you may need to drag the second window to another location on your screen to be able to see the window underneath.

• Depending upon the database, Find It @ FAU links may appear in different places.
• You may need to click on the full record to see the Find It @ FAU links.
• Some databases do not work with Find It @ FAU.

• If the article you need is a very recent article from a journal, it is possible that it has not been loaded on the publisher's web site yet. Unfortunately, if this is the case, you will need to wait for the publisher to add the article to their web site.
