Knox College Library News

As of Feb 4th, connections made to the Knox Library Catalog will be via secured (https) connections. This change to switch all catalog sessions to secured (https) connections is a result of our consortium’s (CARLI’s) continuing effort to protect patrons’ confidentiality so that personal data (names and borrower IDs), which are used to place requests or renew items, are protected.

Depending on the browsers you use, and your browsers’ preference settings, you may notice several new behaviors in the Library Catalog. If you are viewing a catalog record that has enhanced content such as a cover image, you may now encounter a browser alert that says, “This page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Do you want to display the nonsecure items?” In Internet Explorer the security setting “Prompt,” for “Display mixed content,” will generate this message. Other possible settings are “Disable,” which will prevent the enhanced record content from displaying, or “Enable,” which will allow the enhanced content to display without the warning message.
