If you are experiencing an issue with an electronic resource, you can always click the Report a problem with this resource link that is located within the Links section of the details of any OneSearch result.
After choosing the Report a problem with this resource link, you will then need to fill out a form where you explain the issue you are experiencing. It is important to include as much information as you can so that we can resolve the issue promptly. "Required" in red font indicates required fields to fill out to complete the form.
Sometimes an issue seems complex and can be difficult to explain, so this is why sending our team screenshots and videos of what you are experiencing is important. If we are able to see exactly what are you experiencing, it is likely we can resolve the problem quicker.
NOTE: There is not an option to include attachments in the Report a Problem via Primo form. If you are wanting to include attachments, please email us directly at lib-erm@fsu.edu .
