The State Library of Ohio is pleased to announce that the State Library
Board recently awarded $331,188 in federal Institute of Museum and
Library Services LSTA grants to 6 libraries and organizations. The
Montgomery County ESC received an Automation Grant. The Instructional
Technology Services of Central Ohio (ITSCO), Ross Local School District,
and Wellington Exempted Village Schools were awarded Technological
Innovation Grants. The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County
(PLCHC) received an Entrepreneurship Grant, and Brown Memorial Library
received an Automation/Consortia Grant.

 

Automation Grants may be used to convert a card catalog, join a
consortia and participate in statewide resource sharing. The
Automation/Consortia Grants are targeted for public libraries currently
on stand-alone ILSs to migrate and join an existing consortium that uses
a shared catalog.  Technological Innovation Grants are awarded for the
use of new technologies or the use of current technology in a different
way to improve access, services, or support to library customers.
Library Entrepreneurship Grants are to be used to develop new solutions
or alternatives to library issues from which all libraries can learn and
benefit and if appropriate, replicate.  

 

"The grants awarded in this cycle will fund several exciting projects
that will use technology in new ways to connect customers with library
resources, expand access to library materials, and/or serve as models of
collaboration that may be replicated in other libraries," said State
Librarian Beverly Cain.  "We are looking forward to seeing the results
of these projects and sharing them, as appropriate, with the library
community."

 

The grant period is October 1, 2011 - September 30, 2012. To read more
