The Online Computer Library Center (www.oclc.org), Dublin, Ohio, started at The Ohio State University, Columbus -- the college home of Jesse Owens. Over forty years ago Frederick G. Kilgour headed a project to start the Ohio College Library Center, while his wife Eleanor worked with Dr. Foote editing the Educational Broadcasting Review. Dr. Foote edited the journal published by the National Association of Educational Broadcasters and Eleanor was his assistant. Fred Kilgour's Ohio success eventually lead to his founding of an international OCLC at its own campus in Dublin. OCLC now serves over 69,000 libraries in 112 countries and territories around the world and has the world's largest bibliographic database which lists these Jesse Owens pages from Chotank.com. After opening a first overseas office in Birmingham, England, OCLC continued to expand and in 2008 has 1200 employees scattered
among locations in nine countries.

1936 Olympic images have been digitized from original source material by THORNWOOD þUBLISHERS -- not to be mirrored or downloaded using file transfer protocol or other means for electronic or other publication without permission.
