WHERE ARE RESERVE ITEMS KEPT?
     Items on reserve for classes are kept behind the Circulation Desk. You need a call number to request a book on reserve. Reserve books circulate for two hours at a time. Some items can be checked out overnight up to two hours before closing and are due within one hour of opening the next day. A fine of $2.00 per hour is charged for reserve items that are overdue.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CASE LIBRARY CATALOG AND OHIOLINK?
      Case's Library Catalog is the online public catalog, online resources, and libraries of Case Western Reserve University and associated institutions. The online Library Catalog lets you locate books, journal titles, and media material at any of the Case libraries. The Research Databases give you access to databases that will help you find journal citations and articles.
      OhioLINK is a state network of Ohio libraries. Its Library Catalog contains library holdings from 85 associated member libraries. Use the OhioLINK Library Catalog to check for material not in the Case Library Catalog. Only books can be borrowed through OhioLINK; journal articles cannot be borrowed.

INTERLIBRARY LOAN:
ILLIAD & INTERLIBRARY LOAN
     If you need a journal article and the journal is not owned by any of the Case campus libraries, Harris Library can obtain it for you through Interlibrary Loan. You must submit your journal article request to the Harris Library Interlibrary Loan Department using the online system ILLiad . The Harris Library does not accept printed interlibrary loan requests.     Access ILLiad at:   http://cwru.hosts.atlas-sys.com/illiad/MSASS/logon.html

AVAILABILITY OF FULL TEXT JOURNAL ARTICLES:
     A number of databases offer the full text of journal articles. Case and the OhioLINK system offer many full text journals. Full text articles in the OhioLINK databases are indicated by the phrase "Retrieve Full Text" on the citation page. Or, go to the OhioLINK Electronic Journal Center and retrieve full text articles as PDF documents. You can also check the Case E-Journal Portal by journal title. The E-Journal Portal is an alphabetical list of Case and OhioLINK electronic journal titles. The list contains over 31,000 full text article links. Our licenses with publishers and vendors allow off-campus access only to authenticated Case faculty, staff, and students.

THE PRICE OF PHOTOCOPYING and PRINTING IN THE HARRIS LIBRARY:
     Photocopies and Prints are 10 cents per page. The Harris Library has two copiers that take nickels, dimes, and quarters, as well as $1.00 and $5.00 bills. You can also use your CaseOneCard at the copiers as both copiers are equipped with Harco Card Readers. Note: All Printing will only be done at the copier on the lower level of the Harris Library near the Circulation Desk. 
     The second photocopier has been set up for your convenience in the lounge on the first floor of MSASS for photocopying and printing from the web or from your personal documents at any time during the day, as well as before and after library hours daily and on weekends.
     At Access Services, in Crawford Hall, you can establish a CaseOneCard Account (minimum amount $5.00). Guest cards can be purchased at the Value Transfer Station in Thwing Hall. Click here for more information about the CaseOneCard Account

LIBRARY PHOTOCOPYING SERVICE:
     The Harris Library offers this service at a charge of 15 cents per page.
     MSASS students can request to have one copy of reserve readings or a copy of an article from a journal owned by the Harris Library.    Photocopy request forms, in PDF format, are available online.  Submit your completed form to the Harris Library Circulation Desk.
