The Library Catalog contains materials from all UC libraries, including:
The Library Catalog/OhioLINK provides online computer access to information about books and other materials in all of the University of Cincinnati Libraries and throughout the State.
You can search the Library Catalog /OhioLINK from a library terminal or from other computers equipped with telecommunications capabilities. Ask any library staff member for help in using the Library Catalog/OhioLINK, or use the Library Information screens for more detailed information.
Using the Library Catalog, you may also request that circulating materials from one UC library be sent to the Geology-Mathematics-Physics Library. Requested items will be held at the circulation desk for pick-up.
Note: it can take several days to transfer materials from one library to another.
Materials can sometimes be obtained more quickly by going to the other library
in person and checking out the desired material(s).
Journal articles and conference papers may be searched using the databases and indexes available through OhioLINK or on the University Libraries indexes and databases page. Common databases used for General Science, Geology & Geography and Physics & Astronomy can be seen, or all available databases at UC can be viewed by subject area.
There are several ways to obtain books and journal articles not available at UC.
Because of space limitations many publications (journals, books and government documents) have been stored in a storage facility. These items may be retrieved upon request from the Southwest Regional Depository. Delivery time varies - approximately 3-4 working days.
A 24" X 35" light table is available for student or faculty use and is located in the Meyer Map Collection area.
A DVD/VHS player is located in the Study Room on the lower level. This machine may be used for viewing reserve tapes for courses or by small classes or lab sections. Please ask a library staff member for assistance.
New books which have just arrived at the library are kept on shelves on the east side of the Reading Room on the entry level floor.
Recommendations for purchases of library materials may be submitted by faculty or students. Within the limitations of the budget and the general development of the collection, each request will receive serious consideration.
Requests for materials in Physics, Astronomy, Geology, Geography, Mathematics and Cartographic Materials should be directed to Angela Gooden, Head of the Geology-Mathematics-Physics Library.
