Literature Online From Chadwyck-Healey is now available, but there are still some outstanding issues where users can be unexpectedly be prompted for an institution and location. OhioLINK has been made aware of the issues and is working on addressing them.

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.

Product discounts
K-12 schools may take advantage of several OHIONET-negotiated vendor discounts for members. Orders should be placed directly with the vendor, noting OHIONET/INFOhio membership on each purchase request. To see information about new offers, visit OHIONET's What's New page.

Training services
Staff of Ohio's K-12 schools may attend OHIONET training sessions at member rates. Registrations should be made through OHIONET. Indicate K-12 status and INFOhio affiliation to receive the member rates.

Training sessions, workshops and other programs are held frequently at OHIONET's training center in Columbus and other locations. Topics include cataloging, FirstSearch, interlibrary loan, Passport for Windows, searching OCLC, copyright, Internet searching and subject guides, network security, microcomputer applications, current issues in librarianship and digitizing.
