OhioLINK Borrowing

If a book title you want is not available from one of the Ohio University Libraries or the Annex, use the REPEAT SEARCH IN OHIOLINK button to find the title in the OhioLINK catalog and the REQUEST ITEM button to send the request.

We'll notify you by email when the books have arrived and you can pick them up at the Alden Circulation Desk on 4th floor. Commuters and distance learners can also have books sent to any participating OhioLINK library.

Renew books online via YOUR LIBRARY ACCOUNT and keep them up to 15 weeks (unless the item is overdue or another user has requested them). OhioLINK borrowed books can also be returned to any OhioLINK library.

If you experience a problem with an OhioLINK loan, please fill out our OhioLINK Inquiry form.

Anyone with a valid Ohio University ID card or current members of the Friends of the Libraries have access to OhioLINK services at no charge.
