When searching MaagNet Online Catalog the location may be listed as “NE Depository.” That means this item is stored off-site at our Northeastern Ohio Cooperative Regional Depository (NE Depository) located in Rootsville, Ohio. Click on NE Depository for more information about this facility.

Two types of requests can be submitted. Books and articles require different procedures when requesting from the NE Depository. Book requests can be tracked electronically through Your Circulation Record; articles cannot. A book can be checked out and a photocopy of an article is yours to keep.

Typically items are delivered to Maag Library within 3-5 days
