IRC Hours Update

OhioLINK Databases 11/29

Don't forget, as previously reported, database access on Saturday, Novemer 29th, will be offline most of the day:
Just a reminder as everyone goes off for your Thanksgiving holiday, all of OhioLINK central systems will be offline on Saturday, November 29, from 7 a.m. to hopefully no later than 4 p.m. This includes the central web server, the EJC, the EBC, the Central Catalog, the DMC and DRC, ETD, and the OSearch Databases. If you have direct links to databases at vendor sites such as EBSCO or OCLC, you should still be able to access those sites. - Anita Cook, OhioLINK

Library Notices Go Green!

AU Library is joining the campus-wide effort to conserve resources and Go Green. Beginning December 1, the Library will send notices by e-mail only.

Here are four ways to keep track of what you have checked out of the Library:
  1. Look for the due date stamped on each item you have checked out. If you renew an item, write the new due date on your date due slip.
  2. Check your AU e-mail account for library notices. If you rely primarily on a different e-mail account, set your AU account to forward messages automatically.
  3. Check your library record online! On the library web site choose “My Library Account” from Quick Links.
  4. Call or visit the library and ask us to check your account. We are always happy to assist you renewing items and determining when they are due.
Knowing when materials are due is your responsibility. Thanks for helping us Go Green.

New Library & IRC Web Sites

The new library web site was successfully launched this morning! Many thanks to Shelly Shaver, Ashland University web master, for making this process a wonderfully seamless transition.

At this time we are working on updating library templates for existing external server applications such as LibGuides (banner links do not work), ERes (old library header still exists), and Journals A to Z. Each application works, but there are a few issues with links returning to the new library web site.

Thank you for your patience as these problems are rectified.

New Library & IRC web site

The new library and IRC web sites will launch today between 9:00 am and noon. If access to the catalog, electronic reserves, journals a to z, or LibGuides from the library web site is interrupted while the change-over is in process, please note the following direct links:

We do not anticipate any interruption in service; however, if you have problems accessing databases and/or the library catalog from the web site, please use the OhioLINK web site.

Thank you for your patience. We are looking forward to presenting our new streamlined library web site to the university community.

New IRC Web Site



A new library web site also means a new Instructional Resource Center web site! Both sites have been created using the University Template and both sites retain the same useful information as always. Additionally, both the library and IRC web sites now feature easy to use sections and many new updates.

As with the library web site, if you find broken links on your personal web pages, online course documents or Angel course management pages please feel free contact Diane Schrecker, library web administrator at dschreck@ashland.edu for help locating and linking to your favorite pages.

New Library Web Site


This week Ashland University Library will launch its new web site. Although the address/URL remains the same, links to individual library pages may have changed as we have reorganized the page to make finding information simpler.
