Notes
1 If the book you need is physically available at Legacy Library, please use the interlibrary loan form to request it. We will then pull it from our shelves and send it to you. If you find a book using the OhioLINK Library Catalog, request the item through interlibrary loan. Please do not request it through OhioLINK.
2 Request articles through ILL if they are not available in full-text online. If an article you find online from home is only accessible through a paywall, please do not assume you that is how you must obtain it. Instead, please submit it as an interlibrary loan request. More times than not, we can get the paywalled article for you at no charge.
