I'm Having Issues Accessing the Black Gospel Music Restoration Project from Off-Campus Using My BearID and Password (or a Username and Password Assigned to Me)

We have noticed some off-campus users experiencing difficulties logging into the Black Gospel Music Restoration Project's full collection using EZ Proxy or an assigned username and password. This is related to a vendor software issue and is a known concern. We expect to see this issue resolved with the next software update, expected November 2012.
