Many eBooks are available in the Scholar catalog search, but you might also want to try these eBook resources.
Start by navigating to the library homepage and entering your keywords in the big search box located in the middle of the page.

Before exploring your search results, you might want to sign into your account to get complete results and request items not in our collection. Your log-in information is your CampusNet login.

Now it's time to take a look at your search results. Since we're looking for books, use the Resource Type limiter on the left to select Books.

When you find a book you're interested in, there are lots of options to engage with the content. If the item is an ebook, click Available Online to view the full text. You can also click the link icon to copy a permalink to this resource, the mail icon to email the item information to yourself or someone else, or the pin icon to add the book to your favorites collection (this option is only available if you have signed in).

If the item is a print book, you'll see information for how to find the book on the shelf. Take note of the library (the Michael Schwartz Library or the Law Library), floor, and call number for the book so you can track it down.

If you need any help finding a book on the shelf using the call number, don't hesitate to ask for help.
Sometimes the materials available here at CSU will not be sufficient for your research inquiry -- but that's okay! CSU is fortunate to belong to a statewide consortium called OhioLINK. OhioLINK allows us to borrow and lend materials across university and college libraries throughout the state. While materials don't arrive instantaneously (the wait is usually 2-5 business days), with advance planning, OhioLINK gives you access to an enormous collection of requestable content!
To extend your search beyond CSU materials, find the text that says Click here to search beyond CSU.

Books that need to be requested from elsewhere will have an option that says Get it for me from other libraries.

You'll receive an email to your CSU email address when the item is ready to be picked up. Items are usually ready within 2-5 business days. Please don't hesitate to reach out to the library if you have questions!
