Your Case ID Works for You When You Travel Across the State
Your Case ID card is your library card at home, and away. You can use it on campus at any of the Case Libraries, but did you know you can use it in Dayton, or Toledo, or at 87 institutions from Antioch to Zane State College?
When you travel around Ohio, you can go in and browse other OhioLINK member libraries and check out materials if you have 1) your Case ID and 2) a Case library account in good standing. Simply present your ID card to library staff at the other library to borrow materials onsite, without having to wait for delivery to campus. Or, if you're at Case and find an item at an OhioLINK library within driving distance and you can't wait the 3-4 days for it to be delivered from an online request, drive to the library and check it out during their regular business hours.
Find NE Ohio libraries (or any other region that you may be near) by clicking on the section of the Ohio map image that is on the list of members page. (The OhioLINK members list is found from a link on the OhioLINK homepage, and will have a link for the local library catalog and library—good for checking their hours!) NE Ohio has 38 other schools where your Case ID will work for you. With over 140 individual libraries in OhioLINK from which to checkout materials, the riches of Ohio are always at your fingertips!
Details about your library account are not visible to other libraries, so check your account before you visit another OhioLINK library—if you have billed items or fines @$15, your account is blocked (for Case, OhioLINK, and ILLiad privileges) and the other library staff will be unable to help you checkout materials. Find your account on the Case Catalog, under "View Your Library Record." Create your own PIN to manage your library account and renewals so you always know the status of your account!
