Kia ora koutou,
There are two large marketing assignments under way at present in the Business School.
Students are required to use Ibis, Orbis and Passport databases.
To reference these, have a look at the APA guide under Reports and Government publications, then scroll down to Original Proprietary Database Content.
To add to the fun, there are several points to note with Passport.
New users must complete Euromonitor account registration upon first accessing the database (the account is tied to their Open Athens sign in and logged in to automatically next time they access the database).
This signin does not look like a usual UC one, and Access conditions must be read and accepted: you can’t just tick the box.
There is also an occasional issue with students being able to log in to Passport.
Digistal Services are looking at it but in the meantime, ask students to open any OpenAthens resource first, then they should be able to log into Passport afterwards.
Any OpenAthens redirected resource will do – e.g. https://go.openathens.net/redirector/canterbury.ac.nz?url=https://dl.acm.org/
Once you have an established session with OpenAthens, the problem seems to resolve – it’s only on first login that it occurs).
For other Passport login issues, try swapping browsers and clearing caches.
Kathryn or I are very happy to help if students have problems.
Ngā mihi
