There are still books at the Seneca, Ohio County Law Library, and the Law Library's Board is looking for a home for them. According to the Toledo Blade, when the Seneca Courthouse in Tiffin, Ohio closed in 2004, some of the Law Library's books went to the basement of Tiffin University's library, some went to the 3rd floor of the Courthouse Annex, and some went to a private attorney's office for storage. The remaining volumes still at the law library's former location in the Courthouse will have to be moved before the Courthouse is demolished in the near future. The Library Board recently met with the County Administrator and may soon be meeting with the County Commissioners to discuss how much space the library will need for storage. Although the Toledo Blade reports that the local legal community wants a new law library in the new Courthouse that will be built, the County itself has not finalized a decision on that issue.
There is also a related article in the Tiffin Advertiser-Tribune. (K. Croston)

Yesterday, the State Library of Ohio launched a new, free service that provides a Google-like search interface to the holdings in WorldCat, an international database of library holdings. This new search, called WorldCat Local, allows users to alternatively search WorldCat holdings, the holdings of the State Library, or the combined holdings of academic libraries participating in OhioLINK. According to the State Library's Press Release, it is the first state library in the country to offer this service. The chief beauty of this new system is that it will provide bibliographic access that will facilitate interlibrary loans throughout Ohio among all types of libraries, including academic, public and special libraries.
