If you are experiencing any issues accessing articles in our electronic databases or accessing a database itself, please contact the Research Center at 303-871-2905,  research-help@du.edu, or by chat.  We can often troubleshoot the problem with you over the phone or by email/chat.

If an immediate solution cannot be found, we will refer the issue on to our e-resources troubleshooting team.  Many database access issues can be solved within 24 hours.

To help us resolve the issue for you more quickly, it will be helpful to know

  • if you are on or off-campus
  • what browser you are using
  • what article/journal/database are you attempting to access
  • what path you took to access the article/journal/database
  • if you are able to access other online library resources
  • if you are able to access your WebCentral account

Please let us know if you are having difficulties so we can both help you find the resources you need and solve database technical problems so they won’t affect other users.

How do I access Rosetta Stone?

Monday, December 6th, 2010

There are various ways to access Rosetta Stone.

1. On the Penrose Library website, type rosetta stone in the “Find Books and More” search box and click on “Search.”  The first two results will both lead you to the database.

2. Click on “Databases,” located immediately below the “Find Articles” search box.  On the next screen, you can either

  • click on “R” in “Alphabetical List of Databases” and scroll down until you see the link to Rosetta Stone
  • or select “Language Databases” in the “Search by Category” box and then click on “Submit.”
