In this presentation Executive Director Amy Pawlowski provides an overview of OhioLINK, a consortium of 87 member institutions in Ohio that collaboratively provides access to electronic resources and shared physical materials. It covers OhioLINK's governance structure, decision-making processes, funding sources, and the services and platforms OhioLINK manages and maintains, including the EJC (Electronic Journal Center), EBC (Electronic Book Center), ETD (Electronic Theses and Dissertations Center), as well as Affordable Learning initiatives and the eTutoring Collaborative. OhioLINK's ability to leverage its collective purchasing power to negotiate favorable deals, resulting in significant cost savings for its members is also highlighted.
