Library Catalog • Additional Information

Using the OhioLINK Classic Catalog

Here are a few tips for successfully using the Advanced Search option OhioLINK Classic catalog to conduct a search for Archer Library Resources. After choosing OhioLINK Classic Catalog, select Advanced search, located directly below the keyword search bar.

Enter your search term and LIMIT the search by LOCATION to Ashland University. It is one of the top entries in the location drop-down menu. Submit your search.


Search results will then be limited to items in Archer Library's collection.  If we do not have the item, remove the location limit and return to the main OL catalog. As always, you are able to request items from OhioLINK. 

If you need help renewing a book, please contact the circulation desk at 419-289-5400. They will be able to check your record and renew titles as needed.

We appreciate your continued patience as we work to resolve this problem.
