Non-Shareable eResources Now Suppressed in the

OhioLINK Catalog

Historically, non-shareable electronic resources were visible in the OhioLINK Central Catalog.

At the December 2015 LAC meeting, the directors voted to remove non-shareable eBooks

from the Central Catalog. In the March 2016 LAC meeting, the directors voted to expand this

suppression project to include all non-shareable eResources, to reflect the need for a

consistent workflow for technical services staff. In early April, Ohio State University Libraries

worked with OhioLINK and Innovative staff to suppress all non-shareable electronic resources

from Central Catalog. Please contact Michelle Henley if you have any questions.
