Cooperative Information Resource Management Team (CIRM)
CIRM focuses on cooperative resource management issues, both electronic and print, and recommends new policies and procedures. CIRM makes recommendations to the Library Advisory Council on renewals of existing resources and acquisition of new resources for OhioLINK. The policy team is responsible for the assessment and analysis of membership‐wide resources using the appropriate metrics, including deselection and recommendations for management of purchased shared content in OhioLINK locally loaded platforms. CIRM also performs analyses and makes recommendations about shared print policy as appropriate.
If your institution is a two-year or independent college or university or medical or law library, you may contact any of the representatives listed for your institution type with questions or concerns.
