OhioLINK Database Access

Updates to the IP ranges for OhioLINK authentication are affecting OhioLINK web page and OhioLINK database lists; AU users are being asked to "login for access to restricted services" when accessing these resources from on and off-campus locations.

Users will need to authenticate before using any OhioLINK database directly from the OhioLINK web site AND from the AU Library Database by Title Page. A sampling of resources affected by this change include:

When authenticating, you will see the following screens. Be sure to select Ashland University from the Institution drop box and use your seven digit AU id# (without the au- prefix) to finish the process.


Institution Selection (Ashland University)



Authentication Form: Use 7 Digit AU ID#
