Book Searching

When you search in OneSearch, choose Otterbein Catalog to look for local in-print books. Enter your keywords or go to advanced search to look by author, title, or subject search via the drop-down menu. 

Selected ASL related books can be found by clicking on other tabs in this research guilde. Use the "Useful Subject Headings" links under these tabs to find additional books or do your own keyword search in the catalog.

If you don't find enough books in our local catalog, you can run an OhioLINK search which includes materials from 115 Ohio academic libraries.  Books from other OhioLINK member libraries can be requested directly from the Get a Physical Copy box which appears on the record. Requested books will be delivered to Otterbein and put on hold in the library or picked up at the lockers.
