To reduce costs, the University Libraries deliver all library notices via e-mail to the OSU e-mail account of OSU students, faculty and staff. Mail coming into OSU e-mail accounts can be set to forward mail to a non-OSU e-mail address; instructions are available from The University Office of Information Technology.

Library users may also view their OSCAR records online at library.ohio-state.edu to learn the status of their checkouts and hold requests.
