Can't Find What You're Looking For?

If the Columbus State Library does not have an item you are looking for, you can request materials from several other catalogs.

OhioLINK Catalog

You can request items through OhioLINK, which allows CSCC students and staff to get materials from other Ohio colleges. These materials are sent to Columbus State, and you will receive an email when items are ready for pickup.

SearchOhio Catalog

This service is currently unavailable. We expect it to be back up in October 2025. Through SearchOhio, you can request items from Ohio public library systems. These materials are sent to Columbus State, and you will receive an email when items are ready for pickup.

If you are having trouble locating items you need in the library's collection, OhioLINK, or SearchOhio, expanding your search to the Beyond My Library scope will allow you to request items outside of these collections. Select the item you want, click "Get It," and fill out the form to request items. For help finding resources, please contact a Reference librarian at refdesk@cscc.edu, 614-287-2460, or by visiting the library.

For any questions regarding your requests, please contact our Interlibrary Loan department at ill-Group@cscc.edu.
