Access to AU Library resources has been partially restored. If you're off campus, you should be able to get to the AU Library Catalog, though you may need to close and reopen your browser first. Campus access to the Library Catalog remains blocked. OhioLINK requests will not go through from either on or off campus until campus access to the AU Library Catalog has been restored.
On campus, you should be able to get to any research databases. Off campus, you can get to any of our OhioLINK databases by authenticating from the OhioLINK site.

Library Catalog Down
The AU Library Catalog is down for what should be a short time because of a server change. This will prevent ordering OhioLINK materials and will block off-campus authentication to databases, though databases should still be accessible on campus.
When the Catalog is again live, you may need to close your browser and reopen it to get to the Catalog or to authenticate for database access. If you have questions, please call the Reference Desk at 419-289-5402.

OhioLINK Web Site
OhioLINK's User Services committee has been working to update and refresh the OL web site to, among other things, make it more easily accessible to users using mobile devices. Zoe Stewart-Marshall, Assistant Director, User Services Development at OhioLINK released the following information this morning.
With the approval of the User Services Committee, the new header bar and stylesheet are now in place on the main web site. This continues the ongoing process to refresh our user interfaces which you have seen already in the EJC and other OhioLINK services.
This refresh includes revisions to the home page, including a different layout if the page detects you're using a mobile browser (to see it, resize your browser window to less than 800px wide and go to http://www.ohiolink.edu/ - it also happens automatically if your browser identifies itself with a name that includes iPad, iPod, iPhone, Android, Blackberry, or Symbian*). This logic is also used in the map of members and the EJC article-level display.
As a lagniappe, the home page now also randomly rotates the library photo every thirty seconds. We hope you enjoy the new look and feel and that our users coming in on mobile devices find that website easier to work with.

User Services Development
