About the catalog, OPAL and OhioLINK
Baldwin-Wallace College is a member of Ohio Private Academic Libraries (OPAL), a consortium of 19 academic libraries in Ohio. These libraries share an online catalog which is searchable by individual schools or across all institutions.
OPAL is a component of OhioLINK, a larger statewide consortium. Through these consortia, B-W students have access to over 24 million items in Ohio libraries. Students and faculty may request items directly through the catalogs. Such items are normally delivered to Ritter Library within three days. Items not available at any OhioLINK institution may be available through Ritter Library's Interlibrary Loan system.
All materials at Jones Music Library are in the OPAL catalog, with the following exceptions:
-
Some Music Education items
-
The Beswick Theory Collection
-
Popular sheet music
-
Some local Baldwin-Wallace recordings
For help in finding these materials, please ask a librarian.
