The data used in the report was from a collaborative OCLC-OhioLINK Collection and Circulation Analysis project that joined OhioLINK circulation data with WorldCat bibliographic records to produce a base file of circulation records for nearly 30 million different books. Ninety institutions participated in the study, including 16 universities, 23 community/technical colleges, 50 private colleges and the State Library of Ohio. The size of the combined collection and the number and diversity of participating institutions make this by far the largest and most comprehensive study of academic library circulation ever undertaken. -- OhioLINK What's New, 9/29/11

The OhioLINK Central Catalog will be unavailable while planned maintenance is performed beginning at noon on Thursday, July 7. We expect the migration to a new server will be completed by the evening of the 7th. During this time you will not be able to search the central catalog or request items. Local library catalogs will remain available for searching.
With the approval of the User Services Committee, the new header bar and stylesheet are now in place on the main web site. This continues the ongoing process to refresh our user interfaces which you have seen already in the EJC and other OhioLINK services.
This refresh includes revisions to the home page, including a different layout if the page detects you're using a mobile browser (to see it, resize your browser window to less than 800px wide and go to http://www.ohiolink.edu/ - it also happens automatically if your browser identifies itself with a name that includes iPad, iPod, iPhone, Android, Blackberry, or Symbian*). This logic is also used in the map of members and the EJC article-level display.
As a lagniappe, the home page now also randomly rotates the library photo every thirty seconds. We hope you enjoy the new look and feel and that our users coming in on mobile devices find that website easier to work with.
