If you find a book that is available at a campus other than the one you attend, you may have the book delivered to another campus.

1. Click Request below the book title in the list of books or in the Book's Detailed Record. 
2. On the login page:
   Students: Choose Student, then go to step 3.
   Faculty and staff: Choose Faculty/Staff, then go to step 3.
   Tri-C community patrons: Under Community Patron, type your name and patron barcode, then go to step 5.
3. Type your S-number in the Tri-C ID box.
4. Type your Tri-C password in the Password box.
5. Select Submit.
6. On the Request Verification page, choose the campus where you want to pick up the item.
7. Select Submit.
8. If the Item Selection Form displays, you may choose the particular item you want. Make sure the item's Status is AVAILABLE.
9. Select the REQUEST SELECTED ITEM button.

No Request link? There are two reasons this might be so:

• If there is a link to Website in the list or a link to "Connect to resource" in the book's detailed record, it's an e-book.
• The book has been ordered and not yet received OR it has been withdrawn. From the book's detailed record, click OhioLINK or SearchOhio under Resources on the right side of the page. (See below for instructions for requesting a book from OhioLINK or SearchOhio.)

1. From the Tri-C catalog detailed record, if the book is not available, click the OhioLINK icon on the right side of the page. 
2. The OhioLINK catalog displays the OhioLINK record for the book, including a list of libraries that have the book. If the Library Holdings box is empty, click the Show link on the right side of that box.
