Catalogs
Find books, journals, electronic and many other types of library materials in these Library Catalogs.
Catalogs list books, journals (but not articles within journals), microforms, multimedia as well as online sources (databases and online journals) owned or licensed by a library.
We recommend starting here...
OSU Catalog - Search for books, e-books, and other materials owned by OSU Libraries, Columbus and regional campuses. Borrow Materials online.
OhioLINK Catalog - Combined catalog of a consortium of Ohio university and college libraries, the State Library of Ohio, and more. Have materials delivered to OSU. OhioLINK_FAQs
WorldCat@OSU - allows you to search the holdings of libraries from all over the world (including OSU and OhioLINK libraries), as well as content from thousands of journals and millions of electronic books and web-accessible documents.
When requesting a book...
When using your seven digit COTC ID number to request a book, remember that your ID number must be preceded by CT. For example: CT1234567. If your COTC ID number is only six digits long, put CT0 at the start of the number. For example: CT0123456
Other Good Options...
