Services for Faculty: OhioLINK

  • Center for Research Libraries:
    The Center for Research Libraries This is a link to another web site is a cooperative research library and depository located in Chicago. CRL holds specialized and rare materials that complement and supplement the collections of its member libraries, including books, journals, newspapers, archives, and microform sets.
    OhioLINK libraries participate in a group membership in CRL. Cataloged CRL books are found in the OhioLINK catalog, with the location code Ctr Research Lib. These materials may be circulated through the standard OhioLINK online borrowing procedures, but may take an extra day or two to arrive.
    CRL also holds many items that are not in the catalog, including state documents of all U.S. states, college catalogs, textbooks, and foreign dissertations. Loans of such noncataloged items can be arranged through the interlibrary loan staff of your library.
