How do I login to LADB?     If you're accessing LADB from on campus, you shouldn't need to login at all. However, if you're accessing LADB from off-campus, you may request an Affiliated User account be created for you. Pending approval by your organization's authorized contact, we will provide you an individual account which will afford you access to your organization's resources.

I've got an individual account. How do I login?     Individual account holders must login using HTTPS at this address: https://ladb.unm.edu.

I'm on campus, but I can't access full-text and PDF versions of the articles.     If you're on campus and encounter this, please contact the person authorized to maintain your organization's LADB subscriptions. If you're not certain who that is, contact us via the Contact Form and we can point you in the right direction. Incomplete access can be the result of many things: an expired subscription, outdated IP address ranges, etc. It's helpful to everyone if you report problems when they are encountered.

A word regarding browser security:    Please note that cookies must be enabled in order to access LADB, regardless of how you're accessing LADB. Please make sure that (if applicable) ladb.unm.edu is listed in your trusted sites.

Can I integrate searches of LADB into other tools?  Yes. LADB is designed to allow third-party search utilities to search the whole of LADB's content. For more information, please send an email detailing intended use and use cases to ladb@unm.edu.

What browsers and operating systems are supported or required to use LADB?  LADB may be accessed with any web browser; only Firefox 5.x (or later) and Internet Explorer 7 (or later) are supported. The LADB website is compatible with Mac OS X (any version) and any version of Windows which will run Internet Explorer 7 or later. Although we do our best to make sure LADB is as accessible and compatible as possible, given the number of browsers and standards on the market, there is simply no way to accommodate every combination of browser and operating system.

Please note that LADB does not provide technical support for individual users; however, technical support personnel resolving issues are welcome to make contact with LADB's technical team by using the Contact form.

Do I need additional software to use LADB? -OR-
What is the software recommended for use with LADB?  You may. Mac OS X has a built-in program to view PDFs; other operating systems may required the installation of Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Acrobat reader. We recommend Acrobat version 8 or later; earlier versions are not supported. We encourage our users to access LADB using Firefox 7.x or later.
