Online Access

We’re committed to providing broad online access to our resources for both the OU community and the public. Explore our Special Research Collections for rare and unique materials, browse our institutional repository for scholarly works, and use our Research Guides to find expert recommendations by subject.

On-Site Access

Visitors can apply for a Courtesy Borrower’s Permit to check out books from our collections. Visitors also have access to the Loveridge Computer Lab, campus Wi-Fi, and printing services (see our Computers, Wi-Fi, & Printing page for details). We offer walk-in study spaces that don’t require reservations (some may need swipe access, which is noted on the Rooms & Spaces page). Finally, don’t miss the chance to explore our current exhibitions during your visit.
