Finding Books in MaagNet

Books and other materials can be found through MaagNet, the Maag Library online catalog. Use MaagNet to locate items available in Maag Library. Search by author, title, keyword, or subject heading. When you receive a list of results, notice that the format and publication year of each item are displayed on the right side of the screen. Click on a title to access the record for an item, where you will see the item's location, call number and status. This information lets you determine if the book is available and where it is located in the library. To determine on which floor of the library your item is shelved, use the Building Guide online or signs posted in the Reference Room and by the elevators. Also, if you scroll down in the item's record, you will find the Library of Congress Subject Headings under which that book has been classified. By clicking on the listed subject headings, you can find other materials on the same or similar topics. For more help finding books, see Find Books.


Finding & Ordering Books in OhioLINK:

Books may also be found through the OhioLINK Library Catalog. Use the OhioLINK Library Catalog to locate items available through other OhioLINK institutions. Available items can be requested and delivered to Maag Library for checkout (allow 3-5 days delivery time). To order materials, you need your library barcode number from the back of your student ID. If you do not have a library barcode, go to the Circulation Desk on the main floor of the library, and they will attach one to your student ID.

Use the same search techniques to search the OhioLINK Library Catalog that you used in MaagNet. Once you have located a book that you would like to order, click on the link telling you how many OhioLINK libraries own the item. As long as one of the libraries has the book listed as AVAILABLE, you may order the book:

  • Click on Request this item
  • Choose Youngstown State from the list of institutions
  • Enter your name and library barcode, then press submit

You will see a confirmation screen that tells you if your transaction has been successful. Delivery time is approximately 3 to 5 days. To find out when your book has arrived, go to Your Library Record and log in using your name and library barcode. Click the Requests tab to see the item(s) you ordered. A request can have one of three statuses: REQUESTED, IN TRANSIT or OHIOLINK RECVD. When the status says OHIOLINK RECVD, it is available for checkout at the Circulation Desk. See Finding Books through OhioLINK for additional information.
