In Progress - Library System Update​

4.7.2025

We’re excited to announce that Hiram College and the OhioLINK consortium are upgrading to a new Library Services Platform (LSP) in Summer 2025. This transition will bring a more modern and robust library catalog, offering new features to improve how you search and find resources. Hiram librarians and OhioLINK staff are working hard to ensure a smooth transition.

• Local borrowing from the Hiram Library will continue as usual.
• Access to articles, databases, and journals will continue as usual.

Academic libraries will not be able to borrow print books from public libraries between May 23, 2025 and early winter.
