OhioLINK and SearchOhio are statewide library networks that provide access to millions of books, media, and other resources from academic and public libraries across Ohio.
Through the Discovery Search Tool, these collections are integrated into one system, allowing patrons to discover and request materials from beyond Case Western Reserve University's collection.
- Materials not available at Kelvin Smith Library may be requested through the Discovery Search Tool.
- An automated email notification will be sent when the item is ready for pickup.
- Items can be picked up from the first-floor holds shelf and checked out at the Service Center Desk or self-checkout kiosk.
- If an item is not available within this network, CWRU affiliates may request it through Interlibrary Loan (ILL).
Patrons from eligible OhioLINK and SearchOhio member institutions may borrow materials directly from KSL.
