"Please be aware that while Central is down, patrons will not be able to navigate to Central and any renewals of items checked out through Central will be queued for processing until the maintenance is completed." - OhioLINK User Services

Update: Resources Available

All online library resources are once again available. If you experience any problems with access to our catalog or databases, please contact the library at ext 5400 or email us: library@ashland.edu.

Thanks for your patience during IT's planned outage and network maintenance.

Library Resources Down as IT makes major change to network

As of late Thursday most library resources are inaccessible as IT makes a major change to the campus network.  We have been given no estimate of how long it will take to resolve the problems.

Interlibrary Loan Requests Problem

Users of our OneSearch and EBSCO databases are typically able to submit direct requests for interlibrary borrowing of articles cited in those databases.  EBSCO is currently investigating a problem with that functionality that began Friday, June 1st.  Until the problem is resolved, we have replaced the links to the request forms with a message that refers you to the Quick Link for Interlibrary Loan on the library main page.

If since Friday you submitted an interlibrary request please be aware that it has not reached us.  You can resubmit such requests using the Quick Link on the library main page.  We apologize for the inconvenience.  If you have questions about your requests, please write to us at ill@ashland.edu

Once the database links to the request forms are restored you will again be able to use them to submit direct requests for interlibrary borrowing.
