Library staff will retrieve requested documents from stacks. Circulating publications are loaned to state employees, OhioLINK members, libraries, and citizens.
Many sources are available in electronic format, either CD-ROM or online systems.
The State Library of Ohio is a member of OhioLINK, a statewide library and information network linking major university and research libraries in Ohio. The library is also a repository for Ohio documents. Only our students, faculty, staff and courtesy-card holders may borrow circulated materials. The current collection is in open access shelving and cabinets. The retrospective collection is in an adjacent closed stack area with immediate retrieval available.
