Reporting IP Changes

New or Changed IP Addresses

Requests for new or changed IP addresses for access to the OhioLINK e-resources

  • Must be submitted by the local Lead Implementor or Library Director
  • Double-check and confirm; it is crucial that the IPs submitted be correct

Submit IP changes

Things to know about this process

  • For the EJC, EBC, and Music Center, new or changed IPs are usually in place within a day or two
  • Vendor e-resource platforms can take much longer, as long as four weeks or even more
  • Give us as early notification as possible. Four weeks is best.

After four weeks, please test your access using the new IPs and let us know if you do not yet have access. Vendors rarely let us know that they have added IPs, so there is no way of informing you. We depend on you to let us know. After four weeks, if you still don't have access to a particular resource, please submit a support ticket.
