OhioLINK Borrowing

If the book you need is checked out or unavailable, look to OhioLINK!

OhioLINK Borrowing gives the UA Community access to more than 46 million books and other library materials. It is impossible for one library to have everything, but with 87 OhioLINK institutions' catalogs combined into one, the selection is quite impressive. Textbooks, DVDs, novels, music, and more are available through this service. Books check out for 21 days initially and have up to 4 renewals. Media can be borrowed for 7 days.

Anyone with a library record can request items easily using the online catalog, and then pick them up at the location of their choice. Likewise, if a UA faculty, staff, or student is visiting a fellow OhioLINK school, s/he can pick out materials on the spot and check them out using only a Zip Card. These items can be returned to that same library or back home at UA. It's this convenience that makes OhioLINK Borrowing a gift to students and researchers alike.
