How do I request materials from other Ohio University Libraries locations?
Requesting materials from other University Libraries locations is similar to requesting them from your home campus library, and it will arrive within 3-5 business days.
- Change the search to Library Catalog and type in your title
- Click the spy glass
- Click on the title of the item record that you want to request
- This title has one holding location from an OHIO University Library under LOCATION ITEMS and another under GET IT FROM OTHER INSTITUTIONS.
- You can choose either, but if you have the option, choose an OHIO University Library location because you will have the book under OU Libraries loan rules. In the case of most books, the full semester. For other institutions, 3 weeks with a 6-time renewal option.
- Click Request and choose your pickup location
- Review your request details and choose SEND REQUEST.
- You will receive a message acknowledging the request was placed
