Off-Campus Research

Getting Started

Whenever you're doing research off-campus, it's important to start your search from Heterick Library's website. By accessing any database or resource via the HML website, you'll be recognized as a member of the Ohio Northern University community, and asked for your University login credentials. By entering your credentials, you'll be granted access to all of our available resources and databases. Only current ONU students, faculty, and staff can access the library's resources while off-campus.

If you were to try accessing these databases or resources without using the HML website, you most likely won't be granted access. This is because the resources and databases will not be able to recognize that you are a member of ONU.

How can I save sources I find from the main library search box (KlondikeSearch)?

You can email the citations to yourself, download the PDF of the article or save the permalink.  A permalink, permanent link, is a special URL that is generated for a specific source. 

Having trouble accessing a database or resource?

If you're having any issue accessing a database or library resource, please contact the library, by email at reference@onu.edu or by phone at (419) 772-2181.
