Use the At OSU Libraries only scope to locate the books, government documents, DVDs, maps and other resources held here in the OSU Libraries.

Once you search the OSU Libraries scope, you can refine to a resource type (books, ebooks, journals, maps, etc.) to help make your search more specific.

Choose the At OSU Libraries only scope to search all of the OSU Libraries collections. This includes Guin, Vet Med, and OSU Cascades. This option is available after you enter your initial search terms.

You can request a book from another library if the OSU Libraries' copy is out or if we don't own a copy.

If the availability of the items says Request this Item, that means we either do not own the item or it is currently checked out.
