Lesson Overview: Locating Library Materials


Where do I get a specific book I want?

  • First, check CONSORT (or OBIS for Oberlin students). This is the fastest way to get a book; expect 2-3 days froma CONSORT school.
  • If the book isn't available at a CONSORT school (or at Oberlin, for OBE students), check OhioLINK. If an OhioLINK library has it, that will be next fastest; expect 3-5 days.
  • If no OhioLINK libraries have it, use InterLibrary Loan. This is the slowest way; expect 7-10 days. Kenyon ILL request

  • PsycINFO will tell you whether the article is in your own library (click on "Check Availability").
  • If it's not available in your own library you can request it through InterLibrary Loan. Kenyon ILL request.
