Marion Campus Library Services
Copiers
The library has two copiers located in the Copier room, which is just down from the Circulation Desk. Both will accept coins and $1, $5, and $10 bills and give change. The library is a pay-to print facility, meaning there is a charge for photocopies and computer printouts. Copies cost 10 cents per page. Ask at the Ciruclation Desk for assistance and instructions in using the copiers.
InterLibrary Loan
Interlibrary loan is a service intended to borrow materials that our library doesn't own or is missing from other libraries. Most (but not all) materials can be ordered through the University Libraries or OhioLINK by using "REQUEST THIS ITEM" option on the screen. Articles can be obtained from Marion Campus holdings, from online full-text electronic sources or from traditional interlibrary loan. To request a copy from an article not available in our library or electronically from a library resource, visit the University Libraries webpage http://www.illiad.osu.edu/illiad/osu/logon.html for more information. You will need to be sure to register as a regional campus student when you create your account. If you are unable to request an article, please contact the Circulation Supervisor for assistance.
*Note: This services is only available to current students, faculty and staff.

The library has created a citation help center to assist students in writing citations for bibliographies. A variety of style guides and general writing manuals are available to use. It is located across from the Circulation Desk.
