Library ...

Post by reelsmith. »

I give up. How do I use the library ?

I am logged in, but it keeps telling me "We’re sorry but access to our 1,500+ volume library is for ORCA members only".

What am I doing wrong ?

I don't want/need to download, I just want to peruse.

Thanks.

Dean.

The ORCA library is accessed through a member’s Store Account not a ReelTalk login.

Yep, but still not working. I have a store account and am logged in.

Thanks.

Dean,

You have to down load the document to be able to view it. You will be sent a confirmation e-mail with the document in PDF. You have to save it to a file before you can view it. At least that's the way it works for me.

Put it in your cart, proceed to check out (cost is $0 to members), place order and then you'll be sent the download to file & view.

Don't feel alone. Since the last change, I don't even know how to edit the Bronson site anymore. Talk about hopeless! Shouldn't be this hard.

I have the same problem. I set up a member account specific to the library, and I can successfully log in, but I get the same message: "We’re sorry but access to our 1,500+ volume library is for ORCA members only. Do you want unlimited free access to our library (for personal use only, with no resale permitted)?" Did as instructed by Paul.

Folks,

In order to access the library, you must register as a member of orcaonline.com. I checked Dean, and he is not registered. There are instruction in the accouchements section how to register for the Library. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=21864.

If you have questions after reviewing the Announcements, please let me know. There are dozens of members accessing the library every day. It is one of the best benefits of membership, and works fine. You just have to register.

Thank you, Matt.

I got it sorted out, although it took a while because the system kept telling me "someone" was already registered with my email and password.

Took me a bit to find a work around, but all is good now. Thanks again.
