Heading Home for the Summer? Don't Forget About OhioLINK!

summergirl.jpg

Ah summer, time to hit the beach, travel to parts unknown, and grab every possible minute of sunshine. But if your summer plans also include doing research, please remember that you can have your OhioLINK books and other library materials delivered to any participating library, including two public libraries, Cuyahoga County Public Library and Westerville Public Library.

Here's how:
1. Request an item from the OhioLINK Library Catalog.
2. Select your institution. Enter your name and ID.
3. Select a pickup institution (any participating library of your choice) from the list.
4. Select a pickup location at the pickup institution.

You'll need to take your library card and a picture ID (for some people these are one and the same) with you when you pick up your requested materials. OhioLINK materials can also be returned to any participating library.

And whether you're leaving the state this summer or not, you still have millions of articles, 55,000+ e-books, 3,000 digital videos, online practice tests and much more available to you anytime, anywhere from OhioLINK and your library. All you need is your name and ID information to access OhioLINK online.
