FAQs: How Do I Borrow Books from OhioLINK?

Can't find what you need at your library? OhioLINK It! Students, faculty and staff at OhioLINK member institutions--as well as Cuyahoga County Public Library and Westerville Public Library cardholders--can borrow items from OhioLINK libraries at no charge.

First, go to the OhioLINK Library Catalog and find the book or other item you wish to borrow.

Some popular ways to search for specific items include by title, author and ISBN/ISSN. Once you find the item you're looking for, then:

  • Click REQUEST THIS ITEM.
  • The system looks for an available copy and selects a lending library.
  • Select your institution from the list.
  • Fill in your name and ID number, and select where you want to pick up the item. You can pick up the item at any participating OhioLINK library that is convenient.
  • The system validates the request and sends the request to the lending library.
  • The item will be delivered within several days to the pickup location you requested.

Visit our OhioLINK Borrowing FAQ page for complete details about borrowing through OhioLINK. Please contact your library to confirm your ID information. Only items that are not available at your own institution may be requested in this way.
