INFOhio's Five Components

Curriculum Resource Catalog assists in collection development and identifies resources aligned to Ohio's Academic Content Standards. It is a composite of several catalogs that can be searched simultaneously. These catalogs consist of the Ohio Area Instructional Media Center holdings (registration for borrowing is required), online lesson plans, and a Union Catalog of over one million unique bibliographic records of resources held by over 2,400 Ohio public and private school libraries. These bibliographic records are used by school library media specialists to download to local online catalogs.

Negotiating a statewide contract for these resources makes them available across the state without charge to individual schools. INFOhio pays about 50¢ per student on behalf of the State of Ohio to provide all these resources to the students and educators in every public and non-public school.

Instructional Development - INFOhio offers a full range of training, workshops, seminars, in-services, and support programs to help educators throughout the state better understand the expanding definition of literacy and how to use tools and technologies of the Information Age.

Library Automation makes it possible for thousands of library card catalogs to be available on the Internet. It also allows schools to give their students and teacher access to other school, college and public library collections from the classroom, library or home. More than 2,400 Ohio schools in 480 districts serving over 1,100,000 students have online access to millions of print resources via INFOhio's standardized library automation software from SirsiDynix.

Media Resources makes it possible for teachers from anywhere in the state to simply point and click to locate, reserve and book the multi-media educational resources they need - 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The collections of more than 30 agencies are online including Area Media Centers, Special Education Regional Resources Centers, education television corporations and school district central media centers.
