NOTSL Accepting Scholarship Applications
October 14th, 2008 | Permalink | Comment?

Each year the Northern Ohio Technical Services Librarians (NOTSL) awards scholarships to persons currently working in a professional, para-professional, or support position in a technical services area in an Ohio library, or to persons currently taking technical services related course work/training who plan a career in Technical Services.

NOTSL is now accepting applications for scholarships to fund activities that take place in the calendar year, from January to December of 2009.

Send your scholarship requests now. The deadline for the 2009 award is December 8th and the recipients will receive the scholarship award notification in early January.

One of these scholarships will be designated as the Jane Myers Cataloging and Metadata Scholarship and will be awarded to an individual whose focus is primarily on Technical Services Librarianship as it relates to cataloging. Applicants need not indicate that they are applying specifically for this scholarship, but only applicants who meet the Myers Scholarship’s criteria will be considered for this special designation.”

Applications are available on the NOTSL website at:

OhioLINK Downtime Saturday, October 4
October 2nd, 2008 | Permalink | Comment?

This Saturday, October 4, between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m., some OhioLINK services and resources will be unavailable while we update our emergency power source. This move will enable us to better support our equipment through any type of power outage, including the one that happened recently where parts of Columbus were without power for days.

On October 4, the OhioLINK Library Catalog, our Web site, the Digital Media Center, the Digital Resource Commons, and the E-Book Center should remain online. The Electronic Journal Center and the OSearch databases will see some significant downtime though we hope to keep that as minimal as possible.
