    The OLC Expo is an annual event where vendors come from all over the country to showcase their newest products to inspire new and better ways for libraries to meet their patrons' needs. The Expo is held in conjunction with the biennial OLC Convention in odd numbered years (2009, 2011, etc.).

    Watch for more information coming in April!

    Features and Attractions

    We are constantly looking for ways to enhance the Expo. The successful inclusion of the following events in 2006 made our decision to include them for 2008 a simple one:

    • The Ohio Public Library Information Network's (OPLIN) Stakeholders meeting will be held from 9:00 am - 10:00 am.
    • The OLC Annual Business Meeting will be held immediately following the OPLIN presentation. OLC members are invited to attend this brief meeting where organizational issues may be discussed.
    • OLC Connects! is a display area for OLC's divisions and committees. Here attendees can learn about the work of OLC's various interest groups.
    • Vendor demos - We will once again offer vendor demos during the Expo day. Maximize your time at the Expo by by attending a vendor demo to get a more detailed overview of the products and services being offered. Get answers to your questions or see a media presentation - something that is not always possible to see with traffic at the exhibit booth.
    • Much more is being planned for the 2008 Expo. Watch this site, and your mail, for more information.
