usually based on subject headings that are standard terms assigned
by indexers, librarians, or authors.
• Keyword Searching: allows you to search anywhere in the catalog's list
of records for the words you enter. It will search titles, authors,
subject headings, and more.

statewide library and information network which allows sharing of library
resources among
dozens of Ohio colleges and universities. This is the second catalog
to search when the OSU Catalog does not have what you need. You can
request available materials online through OhioLINK and pick them up
in about 3 to 5 working days.
