Technology in the Library

Who can access online subscription resources?

How do I access online resources with my OHSU credentials?

Recommended starting points:

  • Select the Find@OHSU button on PubMed or whenever you see it on other platforms.

Accessibility

All OHSU workstations have a desktop shortcut to the Ease of Access Center, which provides several accessibility tools. Contact us to learn of additional resources available to support your needs.

OHSU Users

The OHSU Library provides Windows workstations for use by OHSU faculty, staff, and students.  These workstations require you to log in using your OHSU network credentials. If you need help with your network account, contact ITG at 503-494-2222.

Computer workstations are located on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floor of the Library in the BICC on Marquam Hill and in the Graduate Learning Resource Center at the RLSB on the South Waterfront. 

Two workstations on the BICC 4th floor have special software and can be reserved for up to six hours at a time.  One has the Adobe Creative Cloud suite, and the other has the Atlas.ti and NVivo qualitative data analysis software.  You may reserve one of those workstations from this page.

Non-OHSU Users

The Library provides Windows workstations for research use by the general public. These computers do not require a login and they provide access to the internet and nearly all of OHSU Library’s electronic journals and databases.

All Library computer users must comply with the Library’s Guest Computer Usage Policy and OHSU’s  Acceptable Use of Computing and Telecommunications Resources policy.

Please note:  As these are shared workstations, we DO NOT recommend storing your files on the computer, even temporarily. Please make sure that you store your documents on your network drives (H: or X: Drive) or use your OHSU OneDrive account.
