The State Library of Ohio, which manages and coordinates the delivery of materials between libraries, recently switched delivery vendors. The new courier, STAT Courier Service, Inc., is facing a severe backlog of delivery items to libraries across the entire state, including the Jessica R. Gund Memorial Library at Cleveland Institute of Art. We have been in regular communication with OhioLINK about our concerns with delays. The State Library of Ohio and STAT Courier Service, Inc. are working to resolve this issue as fast as possible.
Unfortunately, we are unable to answer these two questions. Our hope is that we will begin to see regular deliveries before the beginning of the semester. Please be assured that all involved parties are working as hard as possible to resolve this issue.
Please contact the library to help you identify an ebook version or a print copy at a library you can visit in person. Use the chat service during the library's open hours or email us anytime.
