Off-campus Access 

If you are having trouble with off-campus access to online library resources, simply follow these steps:

1. Choose the ODU Library resource you want to search.
   Select library databases from our Articles & Databases. 
2. Read the on-screen instructions and log-in.
   On the Off-Campus Access Log-in screen type: 
                       your last name 
                       the last 7-digits of your ODU ID number *  
3. Contact us for additional assistance.
   If you would like help in making an appropriate database selection, please ask a librarian. If you are having technical difficulties, please contact Circulation Services by email or by telephone at (614) 251-4752. 
   
    

You may also choose to log-in here for immediate off-campus access. 

* Don't have your 7-digit ID number?
Check the following locations:

• Your ODU ID card 
• Your printed class schedule

Most ODU ID numbers begin with the digit 0 (zero). If you were given a six digit number like 123456, try adding a zero to the beginning (e.g. 0123456) when logging in. In this example the number printed on the front of your ODU ID card will look like 000123456.
