Checking Out, Renewing or Returning Materials
Checking Out Materials
To check out Maag Library materials and materials borrowed from OhioLINK or through InterLibrary Loan, please bring your YSU ID to the Library Services Desk. You may also use your virtual YSU ID available through the YSU App.
Without a YSU ID, you can check out materials with a valid driver's license or passport. Items cannot be checked out by just giving your YSU ID#. Valid photo identification is required.
Returning Materials
Date-due slips are placed in all materials borrowed. You are responsible for returning or renewing the materials by the due date. All borrowed materials are the patron’s responsibility.
Library materials may be returned to the Library Services Desk during library hours. When closed, returns may be deposited in the dropbox located on the west side of Maag Library (facing Ward Beecher Hall).
Renewing Materials
- Most Maag Library materials may be renewed.
- OhioLINK print materials can be renewed up to six (6) times, provided there are no existing HOLDS.
