Libraries, the Moritz Law Library, and the Prior Health Sciences Library--have

approximately 43,000 serial titles. A more complete statistical profile, an

University Libraries consists of the Main Library and a number of department

major academic and community college libraries in Ohio, plus the State Library.
The Main Library provides materials and services related to the humanities and
social and political sciences. The collection includes major reference
materials, government documents and some special collections.
The department libraries support the course work and research of faculty,
graduate students and upper-division undergraduate students in various fields
of study. There are collections in agriculture, art, life and physical
sciences, economics, education, engineering, home economics, journalism,
medicine, music, psychology, pharmacy, social work, and more.
Each library provides access to the Libraries' online catalog/circulation
system (OSCAR), as well as to indexes, abstracts, and bibliographies pertinent
to their subject areas. Librarians familiar with the subject areas and expert
in associated research techniques are available for consultation.
