At today's meeting in Columbus, The State Library of Ohio Board unanimously approved the LSTA grant proposal for KnowItNow24x7 for the fiscal year running July 2009 through June 2010.

We would like to thank the Board members (Dr. George W.Paulson, M.D. (President), Lynn Grimshaw (Vice-President), Ward Murrey, Stephen Wood, and Dr. Andrea Tiktin-Fanti) and State Librarian Jo Budler for their continued support of Ohio's statewide virtual reference service. The grant proposal was presented by KIN24x7 Statewide Coordinator Don Boozer. Bill Martino and Noah Himes of NEO-RLS were also in attendance, and Noah provided helpful comments on the importance of 24x7 service to the Board.
