When this happens, the IP address for your machine is not being recognized by our computer. This failure is caused by one or a combination of the following items:

Your institutional subscription has not yet been activated

The person who "activated" the online subscription did not enter in all needed IP addresses for your institution

The person who "activated" the online subscription does not realize that some subnets of your institution are routed through a proxy server

What should I do?

1. Send us Feedback so we can begin to diagnose the problem.
2. Talk to your librarian, and let them know you are having trouble.

Your institution may have only subscribed to the print version of the journal, or your institution may not have activated access to AJCC Online. Check with a librarian at your institution, and encourage your librarian to activate the online subscription.

The subscription fee allows for unrestricted Internet access at one location. Any user connecting from an authorized computer on your institutional network will be allowed access to AJCC Online.

For the most part, an Institutional Subscription authorizes use at a localized site. A "site" is an organizational unit, and may be academic or nonacademic. For organizations located in more than one city, each city office is considered a different site. For organizations within the same city that are administered independently, each office is considered a different site.

For example, each campus in the State University of New York system is considered a different site, and each branch or office of UpJohn Laboratories is considered a different site.

When someone attempts to use AJCC Online, our server checks to see if the requesting computer is within the list of internet IP address provided by a subscribing institution. If it is, the reader will be able to use all those services enabled for institutional readers. For institutional subscribers, there are no usernames or passwords to remember, and there is currently no limit on the number of readers from your institution who may access AJCC Online simultaneously.

Some institutions allow staff to access AJCC Online content from a home or on a computer not part of the institutions network. Please check with your institutions librarian to see if this type of access is something they provide.
