SearchOhio is a state-wide library consortia that includes many public libraries and provides access to items throughout the state. 

This means that if a book is not available at Ohio State or OhioLINK, you can see if another ilibrary in Ohio owns it and have it shipped to a library location for you.

SearchOhio is especially helpful when looking for children's books or other more popular materials.

There are two ways to find books through SearchOhio.

First, when you are already in the OhioLINK Catalog, you can click the    button to switch to the SearchOhio Catalog.
