Borrowing items from OhioLINK

 


Books and some videoes may be borrowed. Magazines and reference materials are not eligible for borrowing.

The OhioLINK library catalog will only let you borrow items which are not on the shelf in your own library.

Students are limited to a total of 10 books checked out at a time from either OhioLINK libraries or the Clark State Library. Community Patrons are limited to five.

Follow these steps:

  • Click 'Request this item' in the record for the book you wish to borrow. This step will take you to a screen which asks you which institution (school) you are affiliated with.
  • Use the pull down menu, to choose Clark State.
  • Click 'Submit above information.'
  • Now you should be at a screen that asks for your name. Type your name (first name first, no capital letters necessary).
  • Enter your barcode number from the back of your ID card, no spaces.
  • You may also choose an alternate pick up location. Select any college from the drop-down box if you want to pick up your OhioLINK request anywhere other than Clark State.
  • Click 'Submit above information.' A message tells you that the request has been sent to an owning library.
  • If you get some other message instead, ask for help.

How do you know when your item has arrived?
