Are you using OhioLINK?

Did you find just the right item in AU Library catalog only to realize it is checked out to someone else?  Is the item you need off-campus? Do you need an item we do not have?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, be sure to check OhioLINK! The item you want may be available at another library; request the item and it can be delivered here, or to any other participating OhioLINK library location (pick-up anywhere), for free.

Yes.  Free.  Really!

AU Librarian's will be able to help you locate and request OhioLINK items. Our friendly circulation staff will guide you through the check-out process when your item arrives, provide information about due dates, and can help with renewals. Ask for help at the main desk, we'll take it from there.

Database Access Restored

Database access is working fine again.  If that’s not the case for you just close and reopen your browser, and if problems persist let us know at library@ashland.edu.  If problems recur in the future keep in mind the alternate path to databases via OhioLINK.  Best wishes to all for the Winter Break!

Database Access

Access to research databases through the library webpages has been lost as maintenance takes place on University servers.  Many OhioLINK-provided databases, however, remain accessible through the OhioLINK website.  Look on the OhioLINK site for the Quick Link to Research Databases, select Ashland University, and click the link to the "Listing of OhioLINK Provided Research Databases."
