Ohio Library Networks
The following information technology networks serve specific library types in Ohio. INFOhio, a statewide cooperative school library and information network, supports and enriches teaching and learning by providing equitable access to quality resources for Ohio's PreK-12 community of students, educators and parents. INFOhio's components include electronic resources for schools, instructional development for teachers, and school library automation -- all promoting information literacy and media literacy through the use of technology. The Ohio Library and Information Network, OhioLINK, is a consortium of 89 Ohio college and university libraries, and the State Library of Ohio, that work together to provide Ohio students, faculty and researchers with the information they need for teaching and research. Serving more than 600,000 students, faculty, and staff at 90 institutions, OhioLINK’s membership includes 16 public/research universities, 23 community/technical colleges, 50 private colleges and the State Library of Ohio. The Ohio Public Library Information Network provides Internet connections and information services to Ohio public libraries. OPLIN's mission is to ensure that all Ohio residents have fast, free public Internet access through the 251 independent local public libraries in Ohio, as well as the use of high-quality research databases not freely available on the World Wide Web.
