Find Books in the Library Catalog

OSU Libraries Catalog
The OSU catalog lists all the books held in the OSU Libraries.

Summit
The Summit catalog lists books at other regional libraries that can be retrieved for you and delivered within 3-5 business days, free of charge.

WorldCat
WorldCat lists books that are available at other libraries in the United States, and sometimes in other countries. If you find a book you want, and it is not listed in the OSU Libraries catalog or the Summit catalog, fill out an interlibrary loan request and the book will delivered to the library (and you'll be sent an email alerting you to its arrival). This service usually takes 2-3 weeks.
