Delivery Methods

Quickest Delivery Method
The quickest way to get the books you request is to select the Thompson Library as your pick-up location. In addition, the OSU Libraries' Book Depository deliveries to the Thompson Library and Science & Engineering Library 2 times daily.

Books by Campus Mail
Faculty and staff with a campus address may choose to have books mailed to them at that address by choosing "COL CAMPUS OFFICE/DORM" as their pickup location by University Campus Mail. Students with valid campus dorm addresses may aslo request material set via University Campus Mail; Items will not be sent to student work addresses. Before choosing this option, view My Library Account to verify that you have a valid campus address. 

Note: A book delivered to your central campus dorm or office will add at least 2-3 business days onto the time it takes for you to get the book. Patrons choosing to have books mailed to their campus address are responsible for the material from the time it is checked out to them. Materials are checked out to patrons before they are sent in University Campus Mail. Patrons continue to be responsible until the material is checked in at any Ohio State University or OhioLINK library.
