OSU Libraries Catalog Books in Valley Library and OSU branch libraries. If a book isn't available from OSU, use "Try Summit Libraries" to borrow it from another library.

Summit/WorldCat Catalog Request books not available at OSU and have them sent to Valley Library, usuall within 3-4 working days.

Show me how to get books from Summit/WorldCat!

Suggest a book you'd like the library to get.

Browsing by call number

Books in Valley Library are arranged by call numbers that represent subject areas.

Language & Literature: P (4th floor)

Social Sciences/Women: HQ 1101-2030.7 (5th floor)

Since a book can only be shelved in 1 place, you will miss books that may be very relevant by browsing. For example, where would you expect to find a book that examines the work of Jean Rhys, Jamaica Kincaid, and Toni Morrison?

Subject headings

Books are assigned multiple subject headings which describe the conent. if you know the exact subject heading, you can search by subject. If you don't know the exact subject heading, search by keyword and look at the subjects assigned to books that are relevant. Show me how!
