How OhioLINK works

OhioLink is a community of over 100 libraries throughout the state. It has existed since 1987! It shares print/physical materials as well as provides access to electronic resources.

OhioLink is a good place to go if you can't find what you need (with regard to physical materials) after checking the OSU catalog.  Here's an example of a good use of OhioLINK. Let's say you're looking for a book about the contemporary artist and pop culture figure, Shepard Fairey. This book is located at the Columbus College of Art and Design.

As in the previous example, hit the request button.

You'll then be taken to this page where you will select "Ohio State U." It then looks similar to the OSU process. Remember to choose "Mansfield Campus".

 

After that: you will receive an email once your material arrives. Come to the BLIC to pick it up.

OhioLink materials check out for 3 weeks if you are a student, and 6 if you are faculty or staff.
