OhioLINK Director Speaks at KSL Thursday 12/3

The University Librarian Search Committee has invited Tom Sanville, Executive Director of OhioLINK to come to campus and speak to Case faculty, students, and staff. Tom will talk about "Issues Facing Academic Libraries" on Thursday, December 3, 2009 from 9:30 am - 11:00 am in KSL's 2nd floor Dampeer Room.

Case is one of the 6 founders of OhioLINK, and Tom has been Executive Director of OhioLINK since July 1992. Now at 89 member institutions with a statewide system catalog that features unmediated, patron-initiated borrowing, OhioLINK also has added electronic content over the years. Today OhioLINK features over 100 reference & research databases, cooperative statewide electronic centers for theses and dissertations, journals, books, and digital media for research.

Join us for news, trends, and issues that affect academic libraries and consortia today, and ultimately, the campuses of Ohio. We look forward to your attendance, discussion, and questions and answers.

In FY 2008-09, Case researchers supplemented local collections and enjoyed 27,469 items borrowed from OhioLINK member libraries, and the Case libraries delivered 12,458 items to OhioLINK faculty, students and staff.

Tom Sanville is the 2007 recipient of the Professional Achievement Award for the Association for Specialized and Cooperative Library Agencies, a division of the 64,000 member American Library Association. The award is presented for professional achievement within the areas of networking and statewide service and programs. He is active in the development of the International Coalition of Library Consortia (ICOLC), Libraries Connect Ohio, and other library organizations.
