As we approach the end of the state fiscal year, and the time for the Libraries Connect Ohio (LCO) partners to renew purchases of the Ohio Web Library collection of databases, and the final version of the new state budget, changes to the Ohio Web Library collection are finally coming into focus.

Recent developments in the newspaper business are going to force some major changes in the selection of newspapers currently available in the Ohio Web Library collection.

We are pleased to announce a new tool for searching the archives of the OPLINTECH mail list at http://oplin.org/techsearch. This search interface is easier to use than browsing the mail list archives, and you don't have to be a member of the OPLINTECH list to use it.

Next time you have a question about library technology matters, try http://oplin.org/techsearch.
 

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), the federal economic stimulus program, contains several grant opportunities that might be used by public libraries. The ALA has a good overview site of ARRA information.
