Website Kit Welcome Packet 2020

Why are Website Kits cheaper than other options? Ohio’s public libraries are in the unique position of being able to buy customized website services at cost. That’s be- cause Ohio public libraries already indirectly pay for OPLIN through the Public Library Fund; OPLIN does not generally charge for its services. Website Kits are the exception: since not all libraries want or need a Website Kit, we only charge for the actual costs of creating and maintaining a Kit. Not charging would not be fair to libraries that don’t want a Website Kit. But, the Kits are still significantly cheaper than those from vendors, because we are not trying to make a profit. There’s no markup. What is the Module Market? The Module Market is an online market for ordering new fea- tures for your library’s website. Some have a cost, while oth- ers are offered for free! Those that have a cost are generally more specialized in functionality, but the good news is that the cost is a one-time cost only: you pay up front for the module, but that covers installation, configuration and even upgrades in perpetuity.
