What's up with my library card?

I"ve been trying to get into some of the databases like Melsa's Online Resources for Public Use and Hennepin County Public Library Databases but it won't take my account number. I got a new card a month or so ago and it seemed to work fine until this week anyone have any ideas? My students have been using theirs just fine. What I did find before was way more information than I I had time to sort through. So that's good and bad. I think I need more practice getting into DB's and narrowing my searches. I'll keep plugging away and let you know what I find.

Hmmm, I remember talking about this, but did you get it resolved?

Do you have any fines? Are you sure you are using the correct PIN number? Is your card from another library system and not authenticated in Hennepin countu? I'd recommend calling the library so that they can figure out why it is not working.

I talked to the Melsa director about accessing databases from that page and they are "looking into it" and will let me know. He thought they had that worked out.
