Our Goals

The OLC continues to develop library processes together, through joint custom programming, negotiations of bulk rates with vendors, and co-operative training and support. Priorities, activities and membership costs of the OLC are determined by the members:

• To provide library users in Ontario with an integrated network of library services.
• To ensure that library users in Ontario achieve maximum benefit from advanced technology by means of cooperative use of resources.
• To ensure that member libraries achieve maximum benefits at a lower cost and by increased efficiency through cooperative purchase of equipment, services and materials.
