This is a very very nice multi story building , it is the ideal place for student’s to study and other’s to study or just relax , an intresting fact is that the same architect who installed the fountain at this library also installed the fountain at the ridges .

The main building of the oldest university in Ohio.It was recognized as an ARL member building around 1997, and was recognized among the top 250 research universities in the United States. The characteristic of the collection is that it has extensive collections from Southeast Asia, Far East Asia (including Japan), Africa, and South America.

Exceptional library services, kind staff, and complete accountability to all disciplines of study, administrators of each department, and available links to research and development in every administrative and financial field of interest for student services.

I have an interest in using two of your databases, namely Access Newspaper Archives and Access World News (genealogical purposes). I am neither a student or alum. Is the library presently open for me to come to campus and use these on site? Thanks!

Right now, the library is only open for pre-requested book pickups. However, you might want to reach out to the Southeast Ohio History Center for the time being. They have some genealogy researchers that might be able to help.

Hi, just want to know is the WiFi stays on when you close? Thank you.
