Sometimes, the library may not have a resource immediately available, but that needs to be requested from another institution. Depending on the item you're seeking will determine how to best proceed.
Occasionally, articles and other materials found in SearchONU or in our individual databases may display an option to request the source via ILL if a full-text option is not available. To request these items, simply select the option and complete the required fields on the form that displays (most of the fields pertaining to the source will be auto-filled). Alternatively, you can also visit our Interlibrary Loan page and complete a form there if you're looking for a source that doesn't appear in our databases or in OhioLINK.
Once you've completed either form, you'll receive an email containing the item you requested if it's electronic, or an email letting you know the item is available to be picked up from the library if it's physical.

To request an item from OhioLINK, log in to KlondikeSearch, find the item, and select the title to view the record. Once you've confirmed that a copy of the item is available from another OhioLINK institution, click the "Get It" button for a physical item or a scanned chapter. Next, select "Taggart Law Library" from the dropdown menu, along with any other optional information you'd like to include, and click "Send" at the bottom of the form. You will receive a confirmation message on the page and an email.
If you have any trouble with this, please contact the library for help.
