OhioLINK Access Tip
OhioLINK is a wonderful resource for Ohio students, faculty, and researchers. Thousands of electronic journals, e-books, images, videos, and sounds are available from anywhere at any time. That’s especially true when you are on campus. But when you’re off campus, the OhioLINK authentication process may slow down the ease of access.
Access Tip: bypass the OhioLINK authentication process by logging into the UC proxy server instead, then go to OhioLINK.
New HSL CampusGuides: Nursing, Pharmacy, and Health Information Management
Three more CampusGuides have been published! Nursing, Pharmacy, and Health Information Management are “hot off the press”.
The transition to CampusGuides is well underway. The Health Sciences Library “Electronic Resources” topics are moving to the more user-friendly, robust CampusGuides interface during the 2011-2012 academic year. Experience the new and different look and feel. CampusGuides incorporate search boxes, RSS Feeds, embedded media, surveys and can be easily accessed on mobile devices.
More topic guides will be coming soon. As the topics transition to CampusGuides some will appear in the old interface and some in the new. The links on the Electronic Resources page will be changed to lead directly to the new topic guide as they are developed.
We look forward to your feedback and suggestions to help make these topic guides as useful as possible.
