ASCPL is working to resume SearchOhio services. Our staff are currently completing training in the new system so we can restore borrowing as soon as possible.
While the new SearchOhio and OhioLINK catalog is live, it is still being refined to improve the customer experience. You can explore the updated catalog and share your feedback here: https://ohpir.searchohio.org/

If you can’t find an item in our catalog, please sign in to your account and use the “Materials Suggestions” option to submit a request. You are also welcome to ask staff for assistance during your next visit. Thank you for your patience as we work to bring back a smooth and dependable SearchOhio experience.
