OhioLINK’s Pickup Anywhere:

OhioLINK’s Pickup Anywhere is now available for use. Pickup Anywhere is a new service being offered by
OhioLINK that gives us more control of the items we request through the OhioLINK Library Catalog. Pickup Anywhere will allow you to request materials be delivered to any participating academic library in Ohio. For example, if you are an MSASS Intensive Weekend student but you live in Akron, you can request a book be delivered directly to the University of Akron. Or maybe you are in Toledo and wish to have your books sent to the University of Toledo. Pickup Anywhere gives you the opportunity to pick up items at a more convenient location.
