Library Services for Students
Research Help
Your library experts are here to help answer questions from "how do you spell 'axolotl'?" to "how does social media affect mental health?" and more. Help is available in the Zanesville Campus Library any time the library is open. Just stop by the circulation desk and ask. You can also schedule a one-on-one appointment with Haley Shaw for personalized research help by emailing her at shawh@ohio.edu or hshaw1@zanestate.edu.
Live after-hours help is available via chat (with a human in Athens). Use the chat window on the 'Get Help' page of the University Libraries website for late-night assistance.
Textbooks
Before you buy, check out the library to see if we can help you borrow your textbooks for free from the library. The Zanesville Campus Library is part of OhioLink which allows you to borrow materials from libraries all over the state of Ohio.
Course Reserves
When your instructor tells you there is material for your course on reserve this means they have asked the library to have things like textbooks or other reading available for you to use. To check out something that is on course reserve visit the Zanesville Campus Library and ask for your material at the help desk. Most reserve material can’t leave the library but can be borrowed for 2-3 hours.
Search the Library Catalog for your courses to see if there are items on reserve for your classes.
Study Rooms
The Zanesville Campus Library has four study rooms that are available for use by students, faculty, and staff at both Ohio University - Zanesville and Zane State College. The study rooms all come equipped with large screen monitors, a sound bar, and white boards. They are the perfect space for working on group projects, quiet study space, and meetings.
