SearchOhio

OSU and OhioLINK patrons now have access to an additional 9.5 million popular books, DVDs and CDs, thanks to a new collaborative program with SearchOhio, a network of 19 public library systems throughout the state. SearchOhio patrons will also have the ability to borrow more academic materials from the 90 OhioLINK member colleges.

Patrons should search the Ohio State University Library catalog to see if OSU owns an available copy of an item they need.  If OSU does not have an available copy patrons can click on the blue OhioLINK catalog button to have the same search done throughout OhioLINK libraries.  If the OhioLINK system has no available copies click on the SearchOhio link and your search will be placed in the SearchOhio system.  Items found in OhioLINK or SearchOhio can be requested and sent to OSU for you to pick-up. 

SearchOhio print materials, audiobooks and music circulate for 3 weeks; DVD’s circulate for 7 days, all items are eligible for 3 additional renewals (provided no one else requests the item).  Fines for overdue SearchOhio materials are $0.50 per day.
