OHIONET Membership services available
through INFOhio Since the 1998-1999 school year, INFOhio has contracted with
OHIONET for limited membership services for all K-12 schools in Ohio, public and
nonpublic. Working together, both agencies provide services in the areas of cataloging,
product discounts and training programs. OHIONET is a not-for-profit membership
organization providing cooperative programs for all types of libraries to help control
costs, increase cooperation and gain access to the exploding amount of digital
information. Since its founding in 1977, OHIONET has worked closely with OCLC to offer libraries outstanding
support and training for OCLC's cataloging, interlibrary loan and reference services.
After more than 25 years of growth, OHIONET now offers a variety of services from which
INFOhio schools can benefit.
Cataloging services
OCLC WorldCat
- an Expanded Cataloging Service for INFOhio-automated schools
School libraries that are not automated with INFOhio may subscribe to
CatExpress directly through
OHIONET for 2007-2008
and will retrieve exported records directly from OCLC's Web site (rather
than the INFOhio Web site). OHIONET will provide support. Contact Roman
Panchyshyn, 800-686-8975, ext. 10,
memserv@ohionet.org.

OHIONET/INFOhio membership on each purchase request. To see information about new offers,

Training services
Staff of Ohio's K-12 schools may attend OHIONET training
