Research Databases

The law library provides access to OhioLINK and a number of other databases. Some will require a password and others can only be accessed when connecting from a UD server (UD Only). Students and faculty can obtain passwords from a reference staff member, if they have not been given to you. Dayton students and faculty can also gain access to most OhioLINK databases when using their own Internet provider.
