encouraging excellence in academics, assisting in the coordination of academic and athletic schedules and demands, and the integration of academics and sports, as well as general counseling and advising of their student-athletes. The involvement of athletic coaches in the academic affairs of the students they coach, including knowledge of their student-athletes‘ attendance and progress in their academic courses, provides an educational benefit to the student athlete. The University further recognizes that its athletic director, compliance officers, and other staff and faculty charged with assuring that only eligible student-athletes participate in sports and establishing that the University is in compliance with NCAA rules and regulations have a legitimate educational interest in the educational records of student-athletes for these purposes.
Library Information Resources Library staff members connect you to information for your classes. Whether you are looking for a quick fact-like how many books does the library have? (more than 60,000 in print and more than 50,000 e-books), or just getting started on a research paper or presentation for one of your classes (literary criticism about a short story or five research articles on economics); we‘ve got it and can help you find it. You can connect with current information at the library as well. We have current subscriptions to more than 90 magazines and 10 newspapers that you can stop in any time and read. The library also has access to almost 50,000 electronic journals. Be sure to use library computers to check your favorite news sites, Facebook pages, and email accounts. The key to connecting to the e-journals and e-books is the library barcode on the back of your student ID. Visit the library to have your barcode activated and then visit the University‘s website to start searching for books or journal articles on your topic. You can read, print, or download many books and journal articles from the library catalog. Urbana University is part of OhioLINK, which connects you to any of the 88 other colleges and universities in Ohio. If you see a book on the OhioLINK website that you would like to read, use the barcode from the back of your student ID to request a copy of the book be delivered to our library for you.
