About OPAL

Wilmington College Databases and Library Accounts are available through OPAL (Ohio Private Academic Libraries).  Wilmington College is a founding member of OPAL and when you select either the "Database Access" or "Library Account Access" tabs you will be logging into systems that leave the Wilmington College website.  If you have issues accessing information on the OPAL sites, vendor databases, or in the OPAL Library System please let us know at anytime.


To log into the various online resources available, you will use your Library Card Number (also referred to as a Barcode or Login Number).

Your Library Card Number is a nine-digit number: preceding zeros followed by your Wilmington College ID (found on lower right of your WC ID card).

EXAMPLE: If your WC ID number is “123456,” then your Library Card Number is “000123456.”

Contact Watson Public Services Desk at 937.481.2345 or e-mail questions via our "Ask Us" button on the left, if you believe your login and password are inactive, but your student or college employment status is active.
