Find a Book

Use a catalog to find books, videos, and electronic resources in libraries.

  • Search by title if you know the title of the book.
  • Search by author if want to see all books by an author.
  • Search by keyword to find items matching the keywords you choose.
  • Search by subject heading to find books by topic [tip: consult the Library on Congress Subject Headings (link to loc)].

Search for items in EZRA, Wittenberg's Library Catalog.

To find the item on the shelf, copy the complete call number and the beginning of the title. Take note of the location and the status of the items you want.

Use OhioLINK to search for items owned by member libraries throughout Ohio. OhioLINK items usually take between 3 and 5 business days to arrive. Email notifications will be sent to your Wittenberg email address.

Use WorldCat.org to search for items owned by member libraries throughout the world. If the item you need is not available in EZRA or OhioLINK, you can place an Inter-Library Loan Request. ILL requests can take up to 14 business days to be delivered. We will send an email to let you know when your book is here; you will need to bring your library card to check out the book. Contact 937-327-7511 to check the status of your request.
