Connect from Off Campus
Most Oberlin College Library and OhioLINK databases and electronic journals can be accessed off campus if you are recognized as a valid Oberlin College user.
Depending on the database or journal this may involve authenticating with OhioLINK and/or the Oberlin College Proxy Server.
Note: Faculty and staff members using Oberlin.net as their internet service provider (ISP) should be recognized as on-campus users and do not need to authenticate.
Attention Students
Off campus access to online databases and electronic journals is restricted to current students. During academic leaves (including enrolled-not-in-residence programs) and over the summer, student privileges are modified to allow uninterrupted access to online resources.Continuing students who find that their access is unexpectedly restricted should file a request to update their record.
We regret that students who are graduated, withdrawn, or on personal leave cannot be authorized for remote access.
