Summon, our research tool, is the fastest way to search all of our collections, including our online collections as well as the CONSORT (Denison + 3 sister schools) and OhioLINK (100+ Ohio academic institutions) library catalogs.
Denison Digital Resource Commons is an open digital space anyone can access.
Check out Denison's faculty scholarship collection. If you have preprints, presentations, videos, or other scholarly output that you hold the copyright to, please consider archiving them in our faculty scholarship collection. To learn more, please contact your liaison librarian or Yuimi Hlasten.
CONSORT is your first stop when searching for books, journal titles, films, music, and the like. CONSORT is the combined catalog for Denison, Kenyon, Ohio Wesleyan, and Wooster.
The OhioLINK library catalog combines the holdings of 117 member libraries, including the State Library of Ohio, into a shared catalog totaling nearly 44 million items. The shared catalog lists books, e-books and e-journals available across the consortium and other materials available on publishers’ websites.
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is the borrowing and lending of books, articles, and other materials between libraries. If Denison (DEN), CONSORT, or OhioLINK does not have the material you need, ILL will try to obtain it for you from another library. Keep in mind that it can take anywhere from one day to two weeks to fill your ILL request.
Once the request is fulfilled, you'll receive an email letting you know your item is ready to be picked up from the Circulation Desk (physical items) or an email including a link to the item itself (digital items).
