OhioLINK users will soon have access to an even richer array of library materials during a one-year pilot project between Cuyahoga County Public Library (CCPL) and OhioLINK.
Records for Cuyahoga County Public Library’s 600,000 items are currently available in the OhioLINK Library Catalog. Beginning August 23, OhioLINK users will be able to request books from CCPL’s collection online using the OhioLINK Library Catalog. Cuyahoga County Public Library users will also be able request items online from any of the 85 OhioLINK member libraries. Requested materials will be delivered in just two to three days and may be picked up at any of the 28 CCPL locations or any participating OhioLINK library.
“This pilot will provide an opportunity to define how expanding the OhioLINK program to include public libraries can further leverage the state’s information resources and benefit both Ohio’s higher education community and all Ohioans,” Tom Sanville, executive director of OhioLINK, said.
This winter, OhioLINK will begin a similar one-year pilot program with the Upper Arlington High School Library in central Ohio. The pilot will give high school students the chance to access scholarly materials from OhioLINK libraries.
A complete press release about the pilot is available online.
