Where is the OhioLINK catalog?

August 1, 2025

Longtime library users typically search the Wright State library catalog, and if unable to find the resources they need, repeat the search in the OhioLINK catalog to see if other university libraries have the resources.

Where is the OhioLINK catalog?? With the implementation of the new statewide library system in June 2025, the OhioLINK catalog is now integrated into each university’s local library catalog.

Searching the library is now a one-stop process! When searching in Wright State’s QuickSearch, users will see not only Wright State library materials, but library materials from all OhioLINK universities and beyond.

 

If Wright State owns the item, a call number or an “Available Online” link will display:

If an OhioLINK library owns the item, an option to Request from OhioLINK will display:

If the item is owned by a library outside of OhioLINK, an option to Request a physical copy from Interlibrary Loan will display:

Repeating searches in multiple catalogs is no longer necessary—the new library system brings efficiencies that will streamline the process of accessing the research materials you need.
