TO ACCESS INFOTRIEVE

NOTE: If you have the option of choosing Netscape or Internet Explorer, select Internet Explorer. At this time Infotrieve is most compatible with Internet Explorer. Infotrieve is working to make it as efficient with Netscape.

1. Log on to Biddle Law Library's web page (www.law.upenn.edu/bll); click on ILL/Document Delivery - ILL (for Penn Law).
2. Read the general ILL/document delivery instructions and click at the bottom of the screen.
3. Check LOLA, Franklin, and Drexel University Library holdings by clicking on the appropriate link. If the journal or the book is not available at any of these libraries, follow instructions in number 4 on the web page.
4. Click on Infotrieve. Click on LOGON in the left column. Your logon name is the first letter of your first name followed by your last name, all lower case, no punctuation or spaces; e.g., Bob Smith = bsmith; Mary Jones-Smith = mjonessmith. In a few instances we had to use your middle initial (Mary J. Smith = mjsmith) or full first name Mary Smith = marysmith) in order maintain the uniqueness of your login name. All users were contacted if there was a variation in the login. If your first -initial-last-name doesn't work, try one of the variations above. If that doesn't work, see Merle Slyhoff (T-212, mslyhoff@law.upenn.edu)
5. Enter your password. The generic password is Biddle. For your protection, change this to a unique password the first time you use Infortrieve. To change your password, click on PROFILE in the left column. If you can't remember your password, contact Merle Slyhoff (T-212, mslyhoff@law.upenn.edu)
