OPLIN 2010 Stakeholders Meeting

The Ohio Public Library Information Network's (OPLIN) 2010 Stakeholders meeting will be held from 9:00 - 10:00 am on Friday, September 10 at the Ohio Expo Center's Lausche Building as part of the Ohio Library Council Expo. This is our annual report to Ohio public libraries (our "stakeholders") where we review what has happened over the past year and take a peek at the future of the network. Everyone is welcome to attend. Afterward, please stop by booth 717 at the Expo and chat with us!

SMS Notifications

OPLIN offers a free service that allows libraries to send notification messages directly to patrons' cellphones via standard Short Message Service (SMS) "text messages" instead of sending messages to their email accounts.

NOTE this service is intended only for patron alerts which they've opted in for. Blasts of marketing messages are governed by a different set of laws due to SPAM, which is outside the scope of this service.
