26 Steps

First, search for the item you want in XPLORE, the library's online catalog. If the library does not own the item, your screen will look like the image below. Remember, you cannot request an item from OhioLINK if it is available at Xavier.

You will see the No matches found message
Click the OhioLINK button at the top of your screen

The system will automatically search the OhioLINK Central Catalog for your item, and either display a list of results (image below) or display the individual record for the item you want (second image below). If you have a list of results, click the link for the item you want.

The system will now display the individual record for the item you want. Click REQUEST THIS ITEM.

Note: Prior to seeing the image below, you may be asked to select a lending institution or volume.

Click the down arrow in the Please select your school or institution select box.

Select Xavier University from the drop-down list of institutions.
Click the Submit above information button.

The system will now ask you for information found on your ALL Card.

Type your first and last name (exclude your middle name or initial) in the Your Name textbox.
Type the 14-digit number at the bottom of your ALL Card in the Barcode textbox..

If you would like to pick up your item at an OhioLINK college or university more convenient for you than Xavier, follow the next steps. If you want to pick up your item at Xavier University Library, go directly to the last steps.

Click the down arrow in the Pickup Institution select box and choose the college or university where you will pick up your item.
Click the down arrow in the Pickup Location select box and choose the specific library at that institution where you will pick up your item (many schools have more than one library).

If everything is how you want it, click the SUBMIT button.

If you have been successful, you will receive a confirmation message indicating that your item has been requested. Contact the reference desk (513 745-4808) or circulation desk (513 745-3881) if you have any problems.

Usually your item will arrive in 3-5 business days. You will receive email notification of its arrival in your Xavier email account. If you have not specified another pickup institution and location, pick up your item at the circulation desk in Xavier University Llibrary.
