Want to find out how many Ohio public libraries are closed on a
particular holiday? How about which Ohio libraries have a blog or
podcast? Using the recently developed <a
href="http://www.google.com/coop/cse/">Google Co-op</a> tool, OPLIN
has put together a new search engine that quickly searches every public
library website in the state.<br>
<br>
To try it out, simply go to OPLIN's Find a Library webpage (<a
href="http://www.oplin.org/fal/">www.oplin.org/fal</a>), choose
"Search Library Websites," and enter your search term(s). The results
are powered by Google, but displayed as part of the OPLIN website.
Google Co-op allows anyone to build a Google-powered search engine with
results limited to a customized list of websites. For more
information, go to <a href="http://www.google.com/coop/cse">www.google.com/coop/cse</a>
or check out further coverage at <i>The OPLIN 4cast </i>(<a
