When you find an item you want in ALICE, look for a call number. This will tell you where to find the book in the building.

ALICE includes items that are not located in Alden Library. Other possible locations include the Music & Dance Library, the Annex (off campus storage), and regional campus libraries. If you need an item from another library, look for the Intercampus and Annex request button. You'll use your OHIO ID and password to request that the book be sent to Alden Library.
