Provided that a database is available for off campus access, the following steps resolve most connectivity issues:
For database access from home/work make sure you use the Malone library website. Otherwise the system will not recognize you as a Malone student.
For non-OhioLINK databases try going directly to our Research Databases link.
Our consortium is part of OPAL. If the library catalog is down the help desk can be reached at or 1-800-686-8975.
If neither of those work, contact the OhioLINK help desk at
614-728-3600 Ext 330. In some cases it's a home or work firewall or
other settings that prevents the authentication and OhioLINK can help
you work out the bugs.
