The Libraries occasionally receives requests to research and duplicate materials from our collections. Library staff do not conduct research or make duplicates for patrons.
The following options are available:
- Visit us. The Ohio University Libraries are open to the public, with the exception of overnight hours (midnight to 7:00 AM). Hours for all of our libraries and archives are on our web site. Staff on-site will provide directional and basic assistance in finding and using collections and equipment. Directions and parking information is available.
- Work with your local library to place an Interlibrary Loan request for a specific item.
- Consider hiring a local researcher to conduct the research on your behalf. If you do not have local contacts, you may wish to consider contacting Career Connections , an Athens, Ohio-based staffing agency, to inquire about researcher availability through their services. The Ohio University Libraries offers this possibility simply as a courtesy and do not endorse or recommend this specific staffing agency.
The following exceptions may apply:
- Please consult our Services for Persons with Disabilities page about accommodations and duplication of materials for affiliated faculty and students for the purposes of accessibility.
- Please consult our Mahn Center for Archives and Special Collections’ Policies and Procedures information about locating, using, and requesting the duplication of identified archival materials.
