Where to Return Books |
You can borrow books, videos, government documents and other materials from the OSU Libraries. We send the books to you via FedEx (we cannot ship to a P.O. or A.P.O Box). We also provide a shipping label for you to return the item. It is your responsibility to mail them back to us in a timely fashion. Please keep in mind that you are responsible for the book once it leaves the building. You may wish to use a form of delivery that provides a receipt since you are responsible for the items until the library receives them. Please make sure we have your correct address. If you have moved or changed your name, we need to know.
NOTE: You need to be registered for a current Ecampus course to use this service.

Find electronic books (ebooks) at OSU Libraries in four easy steps.
Most ebooks can be "borrowed" for 1 or 7 days. In some cases, you can download the ebook and read it for the given loan period. For more information, check out OSU's ebook guide.
WorldCat lists books that are available at other libraries in the United States, and sometimes in other countries. If a book you want is not listed in the OSU Libraries catalog or at a Summit library, you might want to check WorldCat to see if the book is available at a library near you.
Generally, it will be faster to get the book from a local library or you can at least review it while you wait for the OSU copy to arrive.
Go to WorldCat.org. Type in the title of the book or keywords to describe your topic:
Click on the title of the book or item you want. You can also look to see who has other editions of the book by clicking on the View all editions and formats link.
To see if OSU has the item, click on FindIt@OSU. If you want to know if the book is in a library near you, scroll down and enter your zip code.
If there isn't a copy in your area, you can place an Interlibrary Loan request with the OSU Libraries and we'll borrow it for you from another library and mail it to you. You just need to mail it back to us.
