Central Catalog links
In the Alma/Primo environment there is no standalone OhioLINK Central Catalog. Patrons will discover OhioLINK shared collections within their local library’s Primo. This is a reminder to please remove any links to the Central Catalog that you may be using on your website. Links to the Encore view of the Central Catalog no longer work and a user will see a “you’ve reached a page that is no longer in service” message that refers people to their local library to access resources. The Classic view of the Central Catalog will remain online until September but should be used ONLY by library staff for data clean-up projects.
