What is CONSORT?

CONSORT is an online catalog that you search to find books, journals, magazines, maps, music, web sites and more in the Ohio Wesleyan Libraries. Searching on CONSORT will also show you what our sister schools (Denison, Kenyon, and Wooster) have in their libraries. To only see what is available at OWU, limit your search by library location.

Summon allows you to search almost everything that the library owns. Searching Summon will show you results from Consort, article databases, and more. For more information about Summon, click here.
