". . . timely and accurate access to library materials . . . "
"To support current and changing academic needs, The Cataloging Department offers timely
and accurate access to library materials to the Columbus Campus, Regional Campuses and the
Ohio Agricultural Research Development Center. It pursues excellence and provides leadership
in descriptive and subject cataloging. It is instrumental in maintaining holdings and
bibliographic information in the Libraries' on-line catalog (OSCAR) and shared databases for
the faculty, staff and students of The Ohio State University community, for the citizens of Ohio,
and for other libraries nationally and internationally." Cataloging Department, March 23, 1999
