Off Campus Access

The law library provides access to many resources that can be viewed online from anywhere, for current law students, faculty, and staff.  On campus, your access is seamless.  Off campus, you may need to take an extra step to access IP restricted resources.  

Polar

We always recommend using permalinks from the Polar Catalog, the A-Z Database list, and our research guides when saving, sharing, or posting resources.  Links from the catalog are configured to authenticate you to resources automatically, even when you're off campus.

Proxy

If you are trying to access a saved or shared link from outside the catalog, or content behind a paywall and want to check to see if the library provides access, you'll need to add our proxy prefix to the link URL.  Paste this prefix in front of the resource URL in your browser's address bar:

https://login.onu.ohionet.org/login?url=[resource URL]

With the proxy prefix in place, you'll be redirected to the ONU login page. Enter your ONU username and password to be redirected to the resource as an authenticated user.
