OhioLINK Borrowing Service

Current YSU students, faculty, staff, retirees, alumni, and courtesy users may borrow items from other OhioLINK libraries if the item is not available locally through the Library Catalog. Items available from other Ohio institutions can be searched and requested in the Library Catalog. OhioLINK requests can be delivered to an OhioLINK destination of your choice via a free service called Pick-Up Anywhere. 

Please Note: OhioLINK deliveries take 3-5 business days.
