Malone patrons can borrow items from other OPAL and OhioLINK libraries with a current Malone library ID either by ordering the items through the OPAL or OhioLINK catalog or by visiting those libraries in person. Most items circulate for 3 weeks with 4 possible renewals. Items cannot be renewed if anyone else places a hold on them. Videos and DVD's are due in 1 week with no renewals.

Current Malone students and employees can also request books not available anywhere in OhioLINK and periodical articles not full text online or housed in the Malone library, by completing an interlibrary loan request form at the circulation desk or by filling out the online ILL form.
