Interlibrary Loan Lending

Libraries should request Ohio University (OUN) materials through an OCLC service.

Libraries without OCLC access can place requests through our online form request. If you have an account already established, you can login now. If you do not have an account and would like to use this service, please contact us to register.

If for some reason the online form request is not an option for your library, please contact us to make arrangements for an optional submission of requests.

Individuals interested in borrowing Ohio University Library materials should consult with their local library for interlibrary loan service.

Physical materials are loaned for six weeks and are renewable unless recalled. Recalled material must be returned immediately.

We will charge the actual cost of replacement plus a processing fee for lost and damaged items.
