Searching for Books

Books, as all library materials, can be found through the Library's Catalog using Title, Author, Subject, Keyword, or other numeric index searches.

Using the Library's Catalog, students can check on an item's location, availability, and bibliographic information.  The Library's Catalog is University wide; however, all searches can be limited to only materials owned by the RWC Library.

RWC students can borrow all available materials from any of the UC Libraries, as well as all available materials through the OhioLINK Catalog.  The OhioLINK Catalog is a statewide library catalog consisting of library materials from colleges, universities, and public libraries throughout Ohio.  To request materials from libraries other than the RWC Library, use the convenient online request option to request available materials.
