Cindy,
Just because UCLA is your ISP, that does not mean that it will automatically
allow you access to their restricted holdings and catelogs. As was
suggested in a previous message, you have to setup what is known as a
"proxy" service on your computer, which allows your computer to act as if
it's located on the UCLA campus. The proxy service assigns an IP address to
your computer that is in a particular range that is permitted to view
restricted information.
Jake, the UCLA ISP system probably does not assign the same range of IP
addresses that are used for the UCLA lan system. The other possibility is
that the IP addresses are not listed in the filter, which controls access to
restricted info.

--Yes, Jake. I found the access to World Cat at the
UCLA library online. Unfortunately, I got this message
--instantaneously, I might add: The IP address of your
workstation is not currently recognized by the
FirstSearch Service. Please contact your library staff
for help in resolving this problem.
My husband is going to see if he can get access to it
from home. He says there are some sites he can only
access from his on-campus computer.
If he can get access for me from home, I can help you
search obscure and hard to find items for our fellow
booksharians. What fun!
Cindy
