We are here to field your questions, guide your research process, help with finding appropriate resources, and proving study/meeting spaces for both your individual and group activities.
Library Cards
On Campus Students
For on campus students, your OCU ID card serves as your library card. ID cards are issued during Orientation and throughout the year as needed. Privileges begin upon issuance, providing access to both physical materials and electronic resources. These ID cards are valuable assets warranting the same protection given other online accounts. For your protection, please report lost or stolen cards as soon as possible. The barcode # printed on the card provides students access to OCU and OhioLINK physical materials and electronic resources.
Online Students
For online students, a virtual # will be assigned at the time or registration, please contact the library at library@ohiochristian.edu for your 14-digit barcode #.
