Access Issues?

Because Homework Alabama uses GeoIP location as
its primary authentication method, some areas that are
close to other state borders can receive an IP address
error when trying to access the service. If you or a
patron receives an IP address error, please go to
www.whatismyip.com. Copy your IP address and send
an email to librarysupport@tutor.com that says:

“I live in [enter your city or town], Alabama, and cannot
access Homework Alabama. My IP number is
[enter your IP address from website]. Can you please
connect me?”

For temporary access, please input code APLS.
