2017 OhioNet eResources Preview
- Wednesday, February 1 through Tuesday, February 28
- Users will need to login to their existing OhioNET account, or to create one by visiting https://www.ohionet.org/user. With a unique OhioNET login, you can update your contact information, register for continuing education, and access the annual database preview.
- Since new accounts need to be approved manually to ensure we are appropriately providing access to these resources, we appreciate your patience as we authenticate them. Signing up for an account before February 1 will ensure your immediate ability to access the Preview once it goes live, but we will authenticate users any time. Please be sure to sign up with your institution’s e-mail address instead of a personal one, as memberships are verified at the institutional level.
- Renewals for existing subscribers will continue to appear in a separate portal at http://www2.ohionet.org/ref_renew2.php.
- Please feel free to contact Carrie if you have any questions at [email protected] or 614-484-1064.
