Ohio Supercomputer Center provides high performance computing,
software, storage and support services for Ohio’s scientists, faculty,
students, businesses and their research partners.
OARnet connects Ohio’s universities, colleges, K-12, health care and state
and local governments to its high-speed fiber optic network backbone. OARnet
services include co-location, support desk, federated identity and virtualization.
OhioLINK serves nearly 600,000 higher education students and faculty by
providing a statewide system for sharing 50 million books and library
materials, while aggregating costs among its 90 member institutions.
eStudent Services provides students increased access to higher
education through e-learning and technology-enhanced educational
opportunities, including virtual tutoring.

Slide 6
Purpose of Each EBSCO Resource
• EDS search multiple fields down to the article/item level
for your entire collection, including your library catalog, in
the familiar EBSCOhost platform
• A-to-Z a searchable, title-level list of all your database,
e-journal package, and individual e-journal content
• LinkSource serves as a seamless OpenURL connector
between online services where the user is searching for
an item and the full text is found elsewhere in your
collection; use LinkSource to link to your ILL forms
