Some of the databases listed on this page are for University of Akron students, faculty and staff only.
For detailed information on connecting from off-campus, see: Connecting to Online Resources.

Finding Books

In each catalog use a 'word' search to find relevant books. Click on or search by the 'subject' field of the relevant item to find similar items. I need help using The UA Libraries catalog. I need help with call numbers. I need help finding other materials.

OhioLINK
UA Libraries Catalog
WorldCAT - A combined catalog of libraries from around the world. When you find an item you want, check to see if it is available in the UA Libraries Catalog or OhioLINK. If not, request the item with ILLiad.

Finding Articles

There are no articles in The UA Libraries Catalog or OhioLINK. You must search the following databases to find articles on your topic. Use a 'keyword' search to locate a relevant article, then use the 'subject' field to locate similar items. When you find an article in any database you must check The UA Libraries Catalog for the journal title. If Akron does not have the article you need, you must request the article with ILLiad. I need more help finding articles.
