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.

How Do I?

How can I link to NEOMED Library resources?

Resources are available to link to in Canvas, PowerPoint and/or Word. All off-campus users need to authenticate that they are NEOMED affiliated to access the library's resource(s). 

There are two different types of URL’s that will require authentication.

Option One: NEOMED licensed resources – you will see the EZproxy prefix (https://neomed.idm.oclc.org/login?url=) at the beginning of the URL, or you will see a link to our Discovery layer.

In both cases, when you are off-campus, when you click the URL or on the full text within the Discovery Layer, you’ll get a page asking for this information:

Screen-capture of library login page for PubMed proxy

Your name will be your given name: Last, First.

Your library ID number is your student ID number. You’ll need to enter the zeroes; the system wants an 8-digit number not including the @. 

You can also use our Proxy Link Generator if you have a link to a library electronic resource that does not currently have the NEOMED Library's proxy prefix (Clinical Key Figure or table) and want to ensure it works off campus. Click on the figure or image, copy the URL and paste it into the generator to get a dynamic permalink.

Option two: OhioLINK licensed resources – ohiolink.edu will be in the URL.

When you click the URL, you’ll first be asked to identify your institution.

You will then be prompted to enter your login credentials as noted above.

 

Proxy Link Generator

Have a link to a library electronic resource and want to ensure it works both on and off campus? Use our Proxy Link Generator! It will add the proxy server's referring URL prefix (https://neomed.idm.oclc.org/login?url=) to the beginning of a link, ensuring off-campus access works correctly.

  • The link must be a stable, persistent link as opposed to a dynamic URL which includes session information (usually "session" or "sid" in the URL) that will expire and can't be reused (see Linking to Library Resources page).
  • Sites that have dynamic URLs usually have a link for a "permalink" or "jumpstart" URL.
  • You do not need to add the proxy to freely available sites or links that already contain https://neomed.idm.oclc.org/login?url=....
