OhioLINK borrowing period extended
BGSU faculty, staff and students can now keep the books they borrow from other OhioLINK libraries for up to 15 weeks, as
long as another user has not requested the materials.
“Users statewide have been asking to keep OhioLINK books longer than six weeks,” said Tony Maniaci, chair of OhioLINK’s Inter-Campus
Services Committee, which sets OhioLINK borrowing policies. “Recent improvements to the software used for online borrowing
check for holds before allowing a renewal. This new functionality allows us to extend the maximum borrowing period for items
and better meet the needs of all OhioLINK users.”
OhioLINK books may be checked out for three weeks and renewed up to four times, as long as another user has not placed a hold
on the item, for a total maximum borrowing period of 15 weeks. Users can request and renew OhioLINK books and local library
materials online via the University Libraries Web site at
www.bgsu.edu/colleges/library/
.
For more information, contact the Jerome Library Circulation Desk at 2-2051.
