Ohio Public Library Information Network

Public Library Data Center

Each year, public libraries are asked to fill out various data surveys, such as the one just announced by the State Library. OPLIN has also asked libraries to complete a "Connectivity Survey" each August. These surveys are essential for long-term planning, especially when government funding may be involved.
 
OPLIN has been working with the State Library and OLC over the past few months to open an online library "data center" where libraries can store and retrieve some of the most commonly requested data.

Information and forms for statewide ARRA applications

NTIA has announced the second round of funding for broadband stimulus grants, including grants to support public computing in libraries.

Two collaborative grants are being prepared for any of Ohio’s public libraries to participate in:

Connect Ohio library and patron surveys

As part of a process to prepare a statewide application to obtain federal stimulus funding that would benefit Ohio public libraries, Connect Ohio is conducting surveys to gather additional data about the public computers in libraries and how they are used. Connect Ohio Executive Director Tom Fritz has recorded a 40-minute presentation that provides some background information and details the data gathering and grant process. You can access the audio and the slides at http://www.swonlibraries.org/connectohio.
