Where Do I Go To...

Find out which materials Malone has on my topic

(books, ebooks, journals, audiovisual etc.)

Go to OPAL (Malone Catalog) and limit to Malone or search all of OPAL for access to the entire consortium of 21 private Ohio college libraries that share resources.

Electronic Book Center - ebooks online. First time users must set up an account for NetLibrary (similar to setting up a Yahoo account). Set up for NetLibrary must be done on-campus. Other links like Safari work right away.

Take your search statewide with OhioLINK (consortium of 85 Ohio colleges and universities)
