The library's core collection of print books are located on the New Book Shelf and Browsing Book Collection on the 4th floor of the Mulford Library.
You can search for both print and electronic books in our catalog (see below).
Go to the UToledo Libraries Online Catalog to begin searching for books. You can search according to the following fields:
To limit your search results to E-Books, click Limit/Sort Search then select E-BOOK under Material Type. Also see E-Book Resources to search or browse for electronic book titles.
Search the OhioLINK catalog to see if the book you need is available from another library. Click the REQUEST THIS ITEM link to have the book sent to the UToledo Libraries location of your choice (i.e. Mulford Health Science Library or Carlson Library).
If you still cannot locate the book in OhioLINK, submit an Interlibrary Loan request.
