Ah summer, time to hit the beach, travel to parts unknown, and grab every possible minute of sunshine. But if your summer plans also include doing research, please remember that you can have your OhioLINK books and other library materials delivered to any participating library, including two public libraries, Cuyahoga County Public Library and Westerville Public Library.

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.
