http://infotrac.galegroup.com/itweb/lancs?db=BNCN

I searched under www. lancashire.gov.uk
Under the heading of Library and record office I clicked onto Search digital library. Then clicked 19 c newspapers, then entered library bar code. -jl

I get that far then all it gives me is the heading bar, no search boxes etc

it was working fine a few days ago

it is not my bar code as I can get in to renew my library books

I see what you mean Ann.
It is happening to me today.
I got over it by going "news vault" "search collections"
"limit by your collections" and only tick "19th"

just gone in again now using usual bookmark - working fine!

the only difference is when I switched PC on did cclean before opening firefox - weird
