OK-Share Card System
Members of the USAO community with an OK-Share Card may borrow materials from participating Oklahoma academic libraries. The full statewide policy is available from the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.
This may sound similar to Interlibrary Loan. The difference between the two is that with Interlibrary Loan, you send us a request for specific items, we request them from another library, and the other library sends them to us. With OK-Share Card, you visit the other library and check out materials in person. To find out if other Oklahoma libraries have an item, use Worldcat. You can use either the USAO subscription or the free web version. Once you have found an item you want, click "Libraries worldwide that own item" in the subscription version, or look at the "find a copy in your library" section in the free version.
