The OSU Libraries are pleased to offer “WorldCat Local,” Web access to the world’s richest database, listing over one billion items.
Basic features associated with WorldCat include:
• A simple search box
• Friendly, easy-to-use results display, including “faceted browsing”
• Searches for materials at OSU, OhioLINK (Ohio libraries shared catalog; includes 86 academic libraries
not including OSU), and libraries worldwide
• Displays the availability of materials
• Allows requesting of materials
• Finds articles and provides links to full-text articles online
• Result sets that bring multiple versions of a work together under one record
• Citation formatting options
See the “What’s this” link for more details about the features.
The main change you’ll see is the new search box on the library home page, now displaying search results from WorldCat Local. You can still search the OSU catalog via the OSCAR interface by clicking the link just below the box, named “Search OSU Catalog”.
Let us know what you think about WorldCat Local. Please complete the survey linked in the “what’s this” link near the search box and at the upper right hand corner of the pilot pages, called “Survey – Your voice counts!”

Shortly after World War II, the horrifying atrocities committed by the Nazis against humanity were brought to light and remain widely studied. However, the acts committed in America against people of Japanese descent are hardly remembered. Although they were not genocide, the racial discrimination suffered by Japanese Americans should not be ignored.
Calls to Remembrance, a joint project from both Otterbein College and The Ohio State University, will commemorate this evil through the lives and writings of Toyo Suyemoto and Lawson Inada. Suyemoto survived internment camps in Utah and wrote about her experience in recently published memoirs titled, “I Call to Remembrance.” Inada, who is a third-generation American and poet laureate from Oregon, wrote a book of poetry, Legends from Camp. It details his childhood experience in a Japanese internment camp because of fears he would commit treason against his family’s country of over 40 years.
The presentation will include a short film, A Day of Remembrance: Toyo Suyemoto Kawakami Remembers Internment. Additionally, editor Susan B. Richardson will read from “I Call to Remembrance.” Finally, Inada himself will conduct a reading. The dates, times, and locations of this event are as follows:
Otterbein College: Tuesday, January 29, 4 p.m.
Philomathean Room of Towers Hall,
1 S. Grove St., Westerville
The Ohio State University: Wednesday, January 30
Refreshments 11:30 a.m.; Program 12:00-1:30 p.m.
Frank W. Hale Jr. Black Cultural Center,
153 W. 12th Ave. Columbus

The parking lot for the Ackerman Library, 600 Ackerman Road, is currently being repaired and resurfaced. Because of the work, there are several temporary changes you need to know about:
*The Library / Buckeye Village campus bus will be re-routed east of the Library, with the bus stop pickup location changing to a point just east of the Library loading dock. This bus stop will require a longer walk for all using the bus. The bus schedule itself is not slated for any change.
*Parking on the road north of the Library will be affected for the duration of the project.
The resurfacing work is expected to continue through January, and may be delayed by weather conditions.
We regret any inconvenience this work may cause library patrons, but when the work is completed, the parking area will be vastly improved.
