Library Database Summary

  • Our licensed database content is largely acquired through our membership in the OhioLINK consortium
  • All OhioLINK databases are Ebsco products, so will function the same (helpful for the user)
  • Non-OhioLINK database licensed content includes Facts on File Issues and Controversies, Newsbank, and ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health databases
  • The library website or an online guide (such as this one) are the best places to access databases.      
  • The library databases webpage can be found at https://northweststate.edu/library-databases

Accessing OhioLINK (Ebsco) Databases

On campus authentication is via computer IP address.  No further authentication is required.

Off campus authentication is required for all users (faculty, staff, students) 

  • After choosing Northwest State from a drop-down menu, the user will need to enter first and last name (as it appears in the college's records) and the N number in order to gain access to database content.
