TREX 1001: Ohio Northern Live

A library is more than just books and study space; the librarians are one of the most important resources in any library. At ONU, you have your own Personal Librarian dedicated to helping you! We can help you find resources for your research assignments and formulate search strategies, or just assist you in finding your way around the library. Your Personal Librarian is assigned based on your major. Find the librarian for your major using the link below.

Librarians at ONU also create Research Guides to help students outside of library hours. These guides are often for a specific course, but there are also guides for subjects or special topics. The subject-specific guides are a great place to look for databases to try for a particular discipline, or for a refresher on research techniques. Browse our guides by subject using the dropdown below.

Reservable Rooms

You can reserve rooms at the library for group meetings or studying. Many of these rooms contain a TV that can be used to display your screen to your whole group.

Café

The library café, Northern Lights, features a complete coffee menu with plenty of treats. Students can place their order inside, or use the café's new outside walk-up window.

ONU Archives

Located on the third floor of the library, the Archives are home to collections pertaining to the University's history. Materials in the Archives are available to be viewed by all members of the University and the general public.

Writing Center

Located temporarily on the third floor of the library in room 324 during the renovation to the library's 2nd floor, the Writing Center provides assistance to students who need help with any of their writing assignments. We highly encourage all students to make use of the Writing Center!
