Accessing OIT Library Databases from Off Campus


If you are a currently registered OIT student or currently employed OIT faculty or staff, you can now access OIT Library databases from off campus by using the username and password that you use for your OIT email account (no browser setup required).

After you have your OIT email account set up (see information below if you don't), just go to the OIT Library home page at http://www.oit.edu/lbry.

Then under "ARTICLES & RESEARCH DATABASES," click on either "Databases by Name" or "by Subject." Click on the name of the database that you want to open, and you'll be asked to enter your username and password (which is your OIT email username and password). After entering this information, you should then be able to open the database.

Your OIT Email Address


You have a new OIT email address that you are required to use for all OIT electronic correspondence.

It follows this format: yourfirstname.yourlastname@oit.edu

Remember to use your full first name. You may go by John Doe, but if your OIT registration says Jonathan Doe, your email address will be: jonathan.doe@oit.edu.

The password format is: f l # # # #

This represents:

the first initial of your first name,

first initial of your last name

and then the last 4 digits of your Social

Security Number (not your new student ID#).

For example the password for Jonathan Doe, SS# 123-45-6789, would be: jd6789

Once you have logged into your account at https://mail.oit.edu, you can change your password by going to options, then scrolling down to change password.

Students that do not have an account yet (have not registered, or have JUST registered) should check back in a couple of business days after registering.

Troubleshooting


The ITS Helpdesk can reset passwords if something is truly amiss (with a valid Student ID#, first and last name). You must already be registered and have an account set-up to contact ITS for help.

If you are still unable to get into your email account with your "best guess" of login, contact ITS Operations at 541-885-1717, or via email at: operator@oit.edu.
