Through terminals located throughout the campus or from home or office via modem or campus network, patrons can access the collection and determine the location and availability of any volume in the collection. The libraries offer a wide variety of automated literature-searching services, most of which are available for direct searching at no charge. Many familiar sources, such as Biological Abstracts, MLA International Bibliography, and ERIC, are available through this service. You can obtain detailed information about the libraries in library information hand outs available at all campus libraries. UTS also offers instructional media assistance as well as classroom support and audiovisual equipment services for faculty and graduate teaching assistants.
Most services are available at no charge.
Our University-focused Research Park provides for the collaboration of OSU faculty with industry and business. Benefits of these collaborative efforts are reciprocal. Another tenant, Silliker Laboratories, is a food testing laboratory that has significant interactions with faculty and students in the Key Technology area of Integrated Food and Agriculture Technology. Through this collaboration, Silliker provides students with laboratory space and access to equipment that would otherwise be unavailable to them.
