Access to KSL Resouces

KSL has impresive print and digital collections. Access to all KSL resources is granted based on your Case ID card and your Case library account. The Main Desk can help you with any question about your Case library account.

Your Case library account allows you to:

Renew online and avoid fines
Check on the status of held items or requested items
Cancel requests for items you no longer need

Your library account automatically gives you borrowing privileges at any campus libraries and at OhioLINK member libraries, for collections that normally circulate. (Example: Music libraries have varying privileges and the Rock and Roll Hall Museum Library is an onsite archive with reading privileges only.)
