- The catalog includes the holdings of all Libraries at The Ohio
- State University with the exception of the Law Library, which has only
- recently been adding new titles. Titles cataloged by OSU Libraries after
- September 1971 have full records and can be searched by author, title,
- subject, and series entry. Titles cataloged prior to September 1971 have
- short records and can be searched only by author and/or title. OSU has
- 2.2 million titles listed in LCS.
- LCS also contains the complete State Library of Ohio catalog
- recently cataloged items available from the Center for Research
- Libraries, Chicago, and materials cataloged in the past ten years by the
- Ohio Historical Society Archives-Library Division.
- Circulation information is available for all OSU Libraries (with
- the exception of Law), as well as the State Library of Ohio.
