How to Borrow Library Materials

People who are registered users at OhioLINK member libraries have access to a virtual statewide library of print and digital materials. To find materials available to you, search your library's catalog.

Contact your library for check-out information and loan policies. You can renew an OhioLINK book if it is not overdue or needed back at the owning library. To renew online, view your circulation record in your local library catalog.

You can also borrow items directly from any OhioLINK library in person. Bring proof of your affiliation with an OhioLINK institution, such as a picture ID.

If you are looking for a book that is not available at your own library or any other OhioLINK library, please check with the Interlibrary Loan department of your library.

Check with the reference librarians at your library. They have information about the services of your own library and further recommendations on appropriate sources (electronic or print) to meet your information needs.
