Required OPLIN E-Rate forms from ALL libraries

Once again, it is time for every Ohio public library system to complete E-Rate forms for OPLIN, specifically a Letter of Agency (LOA) and a Form 479.

All libraries are required to submit these forms to OPLIN annually, regardless of whether or not the library itself participates in the E-Rate program.

As before, we have made the process of submitting these forms as simple as possible. Just go to http://oplin.org/erate and follow the instructions there. This online site will ask you for contact information and whether or not the library complies with the Childrens Internet Protection Act (CIPA), then will automatically generate the forms we need from you. Sign the forms and fax or email to 614-728-5256 or erate@oplin.org. It's that simple.

We urge all libraries to complete these forms ASAP, but no later than December 14, 2012, so OPLIN can begin work on our E-Rate applications.

Thank you!
