I’m a History PhD student and having just begun using StirGate I would say that it could save me hours in basic article searches, and indeed might well mean I don’t miss things I might otherwise have overlooked. Thanks for a great resource, I hope we can keep it!
I can’t get stirgate to work at home, so its a bit useless as far as i’m concerned, it tells me i need cookies i enabled cookies and still gives me the same message
Hi Sue, Sorry that cookies problem does sound annoying. This sounds like a browser related issue. I hadn’t realised that this might be a problem. But after some searching it seems that other libraries have reported problems with the AOL browser. It doesn’t have the functionality required for StirGate. If you’re using AOL, I think the only solution would be to use a different browser. So connect as normal using AOL, but then minimize AOL and open the separate browser. If you don’t have a separate browser you can download a free copy of Internet Explorer 7 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx or Firefox http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/ I hope this helps.
