Systems and Platforms
GO will be live the last week of June
We are counting down to GO, which will be live the week of June 24. GO performs a lookup service for OhioLINK proxied links and will provide important local benefits: 1) users log in to the member institution’s proxy not the OhioLINK proxy, and 2) resource usage metrics are generated for the member institution. Details on the GO deployment are being sent to the Leads and ERIT listservs. Find more information on the GO Ostaff page.
