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.
