Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT), a leading global provider of transformative intelligence, today announced a partnership with OhioLINK, Ohio's academic library consortium, and SearchOhio, a consortium of Ohio public libraries, to develop a new library resource sharing consortial experience.
Through this partnership Clarivate will unify OhioLINK and SearchOhio's resource sharing platforms to enhance library user experiences and services, improve operational efficiencies and build upon existing consortia collaboration. The new solution is expected to be implemented by mid-year in 2025.
The new solution will integrate OhioLINK and SearchOhio's existing INN-Reach platforms, part of Innovative™, into a single new consortial experience. It will deliver an intuitive and seamless user experience through a unified view of and access to library materials from 45 public library systems and 87 institutions across the state of Ohio. The streamlined user interface will make it easy for patrons to discover library resources and explore new content, improving learning outcomes.
