Books

Library Search

• Use the Library Search catalog to search for books.
• Library Search includes books -- as well as videos, magazines, journals, newspapers, and more-- available in ALL Ohio University campus libraries, plus the Library Annex.
• If a book is available in the catalog, use the call number to find the book and bring it to the service desk to check out.
• If you need help finding a book, visit a service desk in Alden, contact us, or see our FAQs.
• You can use the "Articles and More" or "OhioLINK Search" options in Library Search to expand your results to millions of books from other libraries around the state via the OhioLINK network.
• You can request OhioLINK items while you are in Library Search. Requested OhioLINK books usually arrive in 3-5 business days.

WorldCat

• Use WorldCat to find books in libraries from all over the world.
• If you find a book you need in WorldCat, request it via Interlibrary Loan and we will borrow it for you.
