John Carroll Students and Faculty Gain Access to Theological Collections

John Carroll University students, faculty and staff now have access to one of the top ten largest theological collections in the United States from the Theological Consortium of Greater Columbus (TCGC). This access is possible because TCGC members, Methodist Theological School in Ohio, Pontifical College Josephinum and Trinity Lutheran Seminary, have recently joined OhioLINK. These additions bring the total number of OhioLINK members to 87, including 16 public/research universities, 23 community/technical colleges, 47 private colleges and the State Library of Ohio.

“Having access to these specialized collections will be a benefit to students and faculty of many disciplines here at Ohio State, including art, history, literature, music, religious studies and sociology.” Joe Branin, Director of the Ohio State University Libraries, said.

John Carroll University students, faculty and staff can now browse 360,000 theological books and other library materials, borrow items for up to 15 weeks, and pick up those requested items in just 2-3 days at a participating library. In addition, students, faculty and staff at Methodist Theological School in Ohio, Pontifical College Josephinum and Trinity Lutheran Seminary will gain access to the more than 46 million books and other library materials owned by OhioLINK member libraries and two Ohio public library systems.

“Being a part of OhioLINK allows us to support the research needs of our students and faculty in ways that we weren’t able to do before,” Monsignor Paul Langsfeld, Rector/President, Pontifical College Josephinum, said. “OhioLINK provides more library resources than any single library, especially a small library, could ever afford individually.”
