A note from OhioLINK Executive Director Gwen Evans
"OhioLINK has been enabling affordable learning and discovery in our state for 25 years. In that time, we’ve become far more than books and libraries—we’re a growing organization with expanding services and stakeholders."
"We are all continually seeing something new in this logo, from a mountain peak to a network to a nod to Ohio itself.

Interlibrary Loan Requests Problem
Users of our OneSearch and EBSCO databases are typically able to submit direct requests for interlibrary borrowing of articles cited in those databases.

If since Friday you submitted an interlibrary request please be aware that it has not reached us. You can resubmit such requests using the Quick Link on the library main page. We apologize for the inconvenience. If you have questions about your requests, please write to us at ill@ashland.edu
Once the database links to the request forms are restored you will again be able to use them to submit direct requests for interlibrary borrowing.
