Finding Books

KentLINK
KentLINK is the library catalog for all 8 campuses of the University. It identifies what books, journals, government publications, and media (computer files, films, CDs, etc.) are owned and indicates their availability.

Use these resources to locate books, government documents and other resources.

Please search the KentLINK first to see we have on your topic.

If you don't find enough resources on your topic or if a particular book you want is out, then search the OhioLINK catalog.

If the OhioLINK system has no available copies click on the SearchOhio link and your search will be placed in the SearchOhio system. Items found in OhioLINK or SearchOhio can be requested and sent to Kent State for you to pick-up.

Search WorldCat when you don't have any luck using the other three catalogs, but keep in mind that you will either need to go to the holding library to get those items or will need to request them via Interlibrary Loan (if they are circulating and not archival.)

OhioLINK Library Catalog
The OhioLINK Library Catalog is the database of all books and other materials owned by the 121 public and private colleges and universities that are OhioLINK member libraries. For any item not available at KSU, it is possible to request the item online and have it sent to any KSU library or another OhioLINK institution for pick up.
SearchOhio
a partnership of Ohio Public Libraries that works with OhioLINK to expand the materials available to both university and public library users.
WorldCat
WorldCat is a shared library "catalog" and includes holding information for more than 10,000 libraries world wide.
