Welcome to Mary Church Terrell Main Library: Circulation

A quick introduction to resources and services provided by Oberlin College Libraries, and particularly, to Mary Church Terrell Main Library and the Libraries's website.

Books, scores, and more!

Loan Periods and Fines

Most of our circulating collection won’t be due until the last day of classes!

Find what you need in OBIS, our online catalog; or, learn more about loan periods and fines.

Our Stacks Manager keeps everything in order; Cameron and her student staff make sure the items you need are where you need them, when you need them!

Required reading?

Find it in Course Reserves—just ask at the Circulation Desk at any of our locations!

You can also search our catalog for course reserves, by professor or course name.

Can't find it at Oberlin?

Don’t worry, we have lending agreements with libraries throughout the state of Ohio—and all over the world!
