New and Notable:
 * A Jing video of the NexLearn Tutorial is here...
 * Begining in Alpha Term 2011 (August 2011), the interface prefers the Firefox browser. Safari is also acceptable. Some other browsers may not work compatibly....
 * Beginning February 7, 2012, the formerly stand-alone Wilson Web database became part of the Ebsco interface.

TIPS
Here's a TIP from our Carroll epub News From The Nexus (May-June 2011) for helping faculty and students transition to the new system, from ABHE-Solutions:


 * Make sure you are using Firefox or Safari, browsers that are compatible with the new data management system.


 * You cannot “go back” in your browser once you are on the My BHCTI login page without getting a “cookie error” message. You can resolve that by clicking “Home” on the BHCTI website, and it will give you a fresh start.


 * It could be possible that your browser is not set up to enable cookies [and it will need to be]


 * If you are using Firefox,


 * at the top of your browser, click on “Tools,”


 * then “Options.” Choose the “Privacy” option.


 * Make sure that “Accept cookies from sites”


 * and “Accept third-party cookies” is checked.


 * If you are using Safari,


 * at the top of the browser, click “Safari,”


 * then “Preferences.”


 * Choose the “Security” tab and click “Always” under Accept Cookies.”


 * Then click “Close.”

Another TIP from Carroll tech guru Carl Heath:

Various anonymous and privatization software packages block "http referrer" including popular firewalls, by default.


 * If a student has problems they should check if they have software installed that blocks "http referrer" and deactivate, [see above]:

Still another TIP:
 * if it turns out to be a firewall, the firewall admin will need change settings to allow "http referrer".
