The OPLIN email server suffered an unrecoverable failure on Friday. Multiple attempts to restore from backups were unsuccessful, and it is now clear that restoration from backups is not possible. We are therefore preparing a list of alternate email services for libraries, since the oplin.org service will no longer work. Watch the oplin.org website for further information.
Please pass this information to any colleagues who had OPLIN email service.
2015-03-06 7:09am The OPLIN mail server is down due to a failed maintenance process last night. Backup data is being copied into place, but will take hours. There is no estimated time of restoration at this time.
OPLIN is pleased to announce that it now has a special design template available to its Dynamic Website Kit client libraries, just for the 2015 statewide Summer Reading Program. Libraries can apply the design to any pages they wish in their Kit, and add their own content. For just $50.00, your summer reading content can have its own special site design. Learn more

The 2014 OPLIN report to our stakeholders (public libraries) will take place at the OLC Convention and Expo on Wednesday, October 8 at 1:15. Everyone is welcome to attend! This meeting will be both an annual report to Ohio public librarians and an opportunity for librarians to influence the future direction of OPLIN. Staff will review what has happened over the past year and report on some federal and state initiatives that have affected both the OPLIN network connections and the Ohio Web Library collection.
As you may know, E-rate is undergoing significant changes this year, so OPLIN, the State Library, the regional library systems and OLC have worked together to make a significantly increased number of E-rate workshops available. All workshops are free of charge.
The data for Internet connectivity at Ohio public library outlets, collected in Spring 2014, has now been posted at http://www.oplin.org/content/ohio-public-library-connectivity-data.
