There is an ongoing issue with McGraw-Hill e-book collections, whereby some users are not being recognised as ANZCA users when authenticating within the IP range of another institution that also subscribes to MGH e-books. This results in the user being improperly authenticated and being unable to access some titles.
Access to the above collections should be unaffected when authenticated outside the IP range of the affected institutions. This includes access from home and access from a mobile device using 4/5G (and not the institutions' Wi-Fi). Users with a pre-existing MyAccess login, can sign out of the affected collections, and sign in using their MyAccess credentials.
