 Welcome to the Finding Books with Alice in Ohio Link Tutorial. In this video, you will learn how to search Alice Catalog and request items from our main, regional, or Ohio Link Libraries. Alice is an online catalog of books, periodicals, magazines, e-books, videos, and much more owned by Ohio University Libraries. To access the catalog, start at Ohio University Libraries' homepage and select Alice Catalog from the drop-down menu. From there, you can search by keyword, title, periodical title, video, or author name. Let's select by title in the second drop-down menu, search, catch her in the rye, and click the magnifying glass. On the results page, you will see that there is one copy located in Alden Library and more copies located at the regional campuses. It is important to check the status column. If the status reads available or Ohio UU's only, you can check the item out. Once you find a book available at your campus, use the call number to find it on the shelves. Ohio University Libraries used Library of Congress call numbers, which is an alphanumeric system used to organize books. Books are arranged in order from left to right and from top to bottom on the shelves. Each row shelving has small signs located at the end of the rows with call numbers on them. Use these signs to locate the section where your book is shelved. If you have any problems finding a book, remember, Library staff is here to help. If there is a copy available at a different campus, you can request that item and have it sent to your home campus. Select the purple request button, select Ohio University login, and log into your account as you would your email. Select the campus and hit submit. Make sure to select the item that is available and hit request selected item. If there are no copies available at any Ohio University campus, try and search through Ohio Link, which is a consortium of over 100 libraries throughout the state of Ohio. Select the green search Ohio link button on the right hand side of the page, which will show you a list of all the copies owned by other Ohio Link libraries. Select a title in the list to see if there are any available copies. If there are, you can request the item, select Ohio University, and submit the request. You will be prompted to login with your Ohio credentials and select a pickup location that you would like to pick the item to be delivered to. Once you've submitted your request, your book should arrive within a week. You'll receive an email once your item is ready for pickup. If you live closer to another Ohio Link library listed, change the pickup location to the library closest to you. Be sure to call ahead and have your Ohio University student ID to check the item out when you pick it up. To search the Ohio Link catalog directly, there is a link at the top of the library home page under research. Just like when searching Alice catalog, use the basic search function if you have an exact title or author, and if you're searching by keyword or topic, use the advanced search option. This concludes the finding books with Alice and Ohio Link tutorial.
