Spanning over thirty subjects, University Press Scholarship Online(UPSO) is an online library that brings tens of thousands of books from some of the world's best university presses, including Oxford University Press, on to a single, easy-to-use resource.
It is impossible for a library to own every book, journal, video, article, etc. that a campus community would want to read or watch, but interlibrary loan fills that void. We participate with OhioLINK for a lot of our interlibrary loan items which provides us with intrastate borrowing and lending.
