Member network leverage OhioNet serves over 300 members across more than 4,000 libraries and information centers in Ohio, West Virginia, and western Pennsylvania, indicating strong cross-institution collaboration opportunities for bundled library technology, training, or shared procurement programs.

Technology stack fit Current tech stack includes Sage Intacct, iCIMS, Canva, Zoho, Shopify, Microsoft 365, Stripe, and Piwik PRO Core, suggesting opportunities to offer integrated financial, HR, digital marketing, e-commerce, and analytics solutions tailored to a library-focused operations workflow.

Maker and learning focus Recent MakerFest activity and a webinar series on making and makerspaces indicate growing demand for makerspace infrastructure, training, and content partnerships that could be monetized via equipment, curriculum, and consulting services.

Succession and continuity Leadership and long-tenured staff transitions, including retirements and interim leadership, highlight chances to provide governance, change management, and personnel onboarding services, as well as executive search or interim management offerings.

Funding and scale With revenue under $1M and a large network, OhioNet is an ideal candidate for scalable, cost-effective technology subscriptions, shared services contracts, and grant-enabled programs that deliver measurable ROI to multiple libraries.
