Library Catalog

Library systems are being prepared for an upgrade scheduled to take place over Thanksgiving break. As a result, you may notice some irregularities in catalog records (display, links, details) during the next few weeks.  We apologize for the inconvenience and will post updates here and on the AU Library facebook page as needed.

Catalog Working: Off campus access pending

Server updates are complete and the Library catalog is once again available for use.  Database access from off campus is pending, we are working with OhioLINK to remedy the problem.
