With the exception of the OhioLINK Central Catalog, all other OhioLINK services (e.g., OhioLINK's Research Databases, OhioLINK's Electronic Journal Center--EJC and Digital Media Center) have restricted access. So, you must login first before using them off campus.

The process requires that you first identify the institution with which you are affiliated. Then, you are asked to enter your name, your valid student/staff I.D. number or "BARCODE" and your Personal Identification Number or "PIN."

Please Note:

Students: Your six-digit student I.D. number or "BARCODE" must be preceded by the letter "S"--e.g., S123456. Then, your "PIN" is initially set up as the last four digits of your social security number. For security purposes, you may want to modify your "PIN." This may be done through the VIEW YOUR LIBRARY RECORD feature in RioCat. (Also Note: do NOT confuse modifying your "PIN" with Change RioNET Password feature on the university's home page--Rio Home, or your the "Change Password" feature in WebCT. While all these systems originally use the final digits of your social security number as a means of access, altering a "PIN" or "Password" at one site will not affect the others.)

Faculty or staff: It is NOT necessary to include any additional letters or numbers when entering your six-digit staff I.D. number. If you have not already registered for a PIN with the Davis Library, then please do so by contacting Deborah Thompson, Circulation Associate at 1-800-282-7201 (OH, WV, KY, PA) extension 7005 or 7398.
