This new service, Freegal Movies, is provided by the same company that supports our music download service. Customers will enjoy hundreds of popular movies and TV shows with Freegal Movies. Like Freegal Music, the new movie service allows the Library to license content for an annual fee. Freegal Movies is expected to launch in March. 10 LibraryLinks | Spring 2013 OhioLink is the academic version with 16 public universities, 23 community/technical colleges, and 49 private colleges participating throughout the state. Customers who search the Library’s catalog and do not find a copy available can simply search the Search Ohio or OhioLink catalogs and if a copy is available at one of the participating libraries, they can request it and it will be routed to the pick-up library in three to five days. Participating library customers can also request our materials as well. Participation in both Search Ohio and OhioLink is possible because of the Library’s recent change to the new Innovative Interfaces, Inc. Integrated Library System.
