<p class=MsoNormal>STATE LIBRARY OF OHIO JOINS BCR SHELF2LIFE PROGRAM<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>AURORA, COLO., October 14, 2009 — BCR is pleased to
welcome the State Library of Ohio as the newest participant in the expanding Shelf2Life
(S2L) program. Initially focusing on its Rare Books room collections from the
American Colonial and Revolutionary eras, materials on local history and
travel, world history and religion will be added, making these pre-1923
U.S.-published monographs available through the S2L print-on-demand program at
hundreds of online book retainers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>“The State Library of Ohio is committed to being the
leader in ensuring the delivery of information and library services to
Ohio’s residents, anywhere, anytime. By participating in BCR’s
Shelf2Life program, the State Library of Ohio is able to provide Ohio’s
residents access to important content in ways they have never been able in the
past,” noted Jo Budler, State Librarian. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>“State library agencies are often overlooked as
resources for substantive historical resources,” commented Brenda
Bailey-Hainer, BCR President and CEO. “I’m delighted that the
Shelf2Life Program will make these State Library of Ohio’s collections easily
accessible in Ohio and beyond the region.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>BCR’s Shelf2Life program was created to help libraries
and cultural heritage organizations share their collections with new audiences.
By making it easy for libraries to digitize and widen access to their
collections, BCR's Shelf2Life program helps libraries increase the visibility,
use and recognition of their important collections. The program helps
researchers, collectors and readers by putting these editions within easy reach
— in print-on-demand or electronic format. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>About The State Library of Ohio<o:p></o:p></p>

leading the development of collaborative efforts that support state employees,
residents and libraries by providing high quality resources and services at
lower costs. These efforts include providing statewide virtual resources in the
areas of education, workforce development, research, history, and consumer
health. <o:p></o:p></p>
