Finding Materials

Access

Before we begin to look for materials you should know something about access.

Are you an off-campus student?

Your Novell login, assigned by ORU, is the "essential" login required to access ORU online electronic resources from off-campus. Once you are logged in you can access any of ORU's databases. You only need to login once for access to all of the ORU databases.

To access ORU Electronic Resources:

Go to the ORU Library page <www.oru.edu/university/library/>
Click the Databases link.
(You may also choose another form of navigation, such as Guides or Research Resources. Whenever you attempt to access ORU's resources you will be prompted to login.)
Complete the login, when prompted.

If you chose the Databases link, from the alphabetical list, click any database name for access.

Novell Login Windows

There are two different Novell login prompts (windows) that may pop up depending upon where you login. Though the windows look differently, they have the same function. Most likely, when you access from off-campus you will get the second login window.

Do you know your Novell login?

Does it work?

If you need assistance with your Novell login and/or password, you may contact Steve Duclos in the Academic Computing Lab.

Although the library attempts to provide information that is current and accurate, please note that the library, databases, logins, etc. are very dynamic environments and occasionally a link may not work as instructed in this tutorial. If this tutorial is part of an assignment and you encounter a link error, make a note of the error and continue. Try the link at a later time.
