Thanks so much for your update. Now I can make use of the "OhioWebLibrary"
cards that you gave us years ago -- I can just write after the URL on the
card as I am helping the patrons instead of having to write down a search
path each time for every patron. The patrons should also appreciate the
simplicity these links provide.

Thank you.

OPLIN provides a number of simple, short, easy-to-remember URLs you can 
share with patrons who want to access specific Ohio Web Library 
resources from home.

For instance, if you have been helping a student do some research using 
World Book Online, you can tell them that if they want to continue their 
work from home they can go to "ohioweblibrary/worldbook." (Much easier 
to remember than 
"oplin.org/databases/proxy/proxy.php?qurl=http://www.worldbookonline.com/wb/
products?ed=all.")

You can find a list of the most common Ohio Web Library shortcuts at
