8.  Can I access the resources from home?
Yes as long as you have an internet connection.
But remember if the resource has “available
within CIT only” you need to be physically at a CIT
branch.
 I am trying to access the online resources and I
get a message telling me I cannot connect at
this time or that there are too many
concurrent users.
Too many people may be trying to access
the resources at once. Wait a little while then try
again.

9.  REMEMBER: Each resource has help features
or tutorials to show you how to use the
product. These online instructions should
provide assistance on how to access, locate
and retrieve information. Look for the Help
link on the screen.
