OhioNet membership rates are tiered based on your organization’s materials budget.

Your Annual Membership Rate

How to find your materials budget?

Your library’s materials budget, sometimes called a collections budget, is a number submitted to the State Library or IPEDS for statistical reporting. Find your library’s submitted budget using the State Library Website or IPEDS.

If your library does not report publicly, we accept self-reported data using the tiers shown in the tool above.

If you have additional questions, please contact member services specialist Lisa Witmer at lisaw@ohionet.org or call (800) 686-8975.
