Library News
Update Links to Library Resources
Biola Library has migrated from the EZproxy login system to OpenAthens, providing a more seamless user experience on the library website including fewer logins to access library resources. Because of this change, many of the links to library resources (ebooks, articles, etc.) that you may have saved will no longer work and need to be updated. To generate new links for your previously saved resources, search for each resource individually at biola.edu/library, click on the title of the result you want to save, and use the permalink tool. See additional instructions at https://libanswers.biola.edu/faq/394251.
Library Account Access
Biola Library has also migrated to a new library system which has changed the location of your online library account. Library accounts are now accessible for viewing and renewing checked out items through the Accounts menu on biola.edu/library as well as links in the upper right corner of the search results page from the main library search.
