Board meetings and strategic plans from Ohio State Library
The Board reviewed several funding requests, including LSTA funds for the Ohio Library for the Blind and Print Disabled, the Libraries Connect Ohio Statewide Core Electronic Databases, and Guiding Ohio Online grants for various public libraries. The State Librarian provided updates on the library's relocation progress, the search for a new library services platform for the SEO Consortium, and the progress of SearchOhio administration. The Board discussed and approved state subsidies for Regional Library Systems and the Ohio Library for the Blind and Print Disabled, made re-appointments to the OPLIN Board, recommended candidates for the State Library Board, discussed a draft Conflict of Interest Policy, and approved updates to the Ohio Administrative Code.
