Important Announcement: The New Library System and updated E-resource login process are Here!. As part of OhioLINK, Ohio's academic library consortium, the NEOMED Library is updating its 30-year-old shared systems. The new system allows researchers to "discover" print and electronic resources with a single search. Click here to start using the new system. Additionally, we have also changed the way that you all will login for off-campus access to the electronic resources provided by the NEOMED Library. All NEOMED students, faculty, clinical faculty, staff, and retirees, will click on the "Login using your NEOMED Network credentials" link on the login page. From there, you will be routed through NEOMED's network login process using the same login credentials that you use for logging into your email, Sharepoint, and other essential NEOMED networked resources. Please be patient with us as we get everything situated for your use and contact us with any questions at 330-325-6600 or e-mail library@neomed.edu for help.

    • A corresponding passport will be completed and submitted following the visit.
  2. Community Referral from PACE office: 
    • Students need to contact the PACE office and ask for the name of a location/organization in the community to which the PACE preceptor/office refers out to regularly (examples include: community mental health center, counseling services, social service organization). 
    • A corresponding passport will be completed and submitted following the visit.
  3. Other Community Resource--Social Determinant of Health Organization:
