  5. “Ignorance is the mother of admiration.” George Chapman Why OhioLINK • Rationale and Philosophies • Organization • $$ Resources • Services “Few things are harder to put up with than a good example.”Mark Twain

  6. The OhioLINK spark- • Mid-1980s --- universities out of stack space • Too expensive to build more standard stack space • No effective way to utilize the collections • Thus were born the five remote storage • repositories… • and OhioLINK… • a legacy of the original Ohio College • Library Center mission

  7. Our Goal • Economically sustainable, increased student and faculty access to and use of library provided information to support and improve instruction and research…as a consortium

  8. Because • More information access is required to be relevant/successful • Information resources are proliferating • Information costs are growing faster than individual library budgets • Libraries remain compelled to buy as much as possible • Individual libraries cannot leverage significantly greater access on limited funds • Libraries DID NOT, DO NOT and WILL NOT have all the information resources their patrons need “Learning is like rowing upstream; not to advance is to drop back.”Chinese Saying

  9. Objectives • To gain Economic leverage • lowest unit prices, controlled costs • more information per $ spent • increased economic bargaining power • To gain Information Access leverage • much, much more access • To gain Operational leverage • maximize use of computer investment • Control, customize, and evolve access to group needs
