Ohiolink Service Pause and Delivery Company Change
Because of issues with Ohiolink deliveries, Ohiolink is changing back to the delivery company they used prior to July 2021. As part of the transition process back to the prior delivery company, there will be a pause in Ohiolink delivery services.
- Between now and March 10, please request any needed items as early as possible because we anticipate that there will be delays. Akron Law librarians would be very happy to discuss your needs and help you look for alternate formats or other ways to secure materials, such as using Inter-Library Loan, which does not rely on this intrastate delivery service.
- From March 11 through the end of spring term, you will not be able to request material through the OhioLINK Central Catalog. This is necessary to avoid a backlog of materials in the system during the transition.
Please contact the library with any questions, at ualawlibrary@uakron.edu, (330) 972-7330 (circ desk).
