Hotel and Transportation Information

The 2001 OCLC SiteSearch User Meeting will be held May 7-9, 2001 at OCLC in Dublin, Ohio in the Conference Center located in the Smith Building. OCLC provides the following information for meeting attendees who need to make hotel and ground transportation arrangements while staying in Dublin, Ohio.

Transportation

While most of the Dublin hotels do not provide airport transportation, you can use a taxi, a shuttle service, or a rental car to travel from the airport to your hotel.

Taxis

Taxis cost approximately $50 + tip one way.

Shuttle Service

OCLC now has a preferred provider for ground transportation. Royal Livery Service provides service to/from the three Dublin exits to/from the airport for $45.00 per SEDAN (not per person) which includes tax and gratuity (OCLC's rate). A 3% fuel charge is also added which will disappear after gas prices decline. Reservations must be made in advance and you must request the OCLC rate. You may make the reservation by one of the following methods:

• Call (800) 511-5666
• Fax (614) 475-2766
• E-mail to reservations@rlsltd.com
• Reserve online at www.RoyalLiveryService.com

Royal Livery will need the following information:

• Pickup date and time
• Place of pickup (if incoming flight, provide airline information -- carrier, flight number; if pickup is at OCLC, specify which on-campus building (e.g. Smith Bldg.)
• Destination location
• Name of traveler(s)
• Name of reservation maker (first and last name please)
• Phone and fax numbers of reservation maker
• Payment form (American Express, Visa, MasterCard and Discover accepted)

Rental Cars

Major rental car companies also have airport locations. Dublin is located approximately 40 minutes driving time from the Port Columbus airport and does not have a public transportation system, nor are taxis readily available. For better mobility, you may wish to have a rental car. A series of maps showing Dublin's location in relation to the airport as well as the OCLC campus is available at our Web site:

http://www.oclc.org/oclc/menu/to-airpt.htm

Use these maps to provide you with directions to OCLC. Once you reach OCLC's campus, follow the signs to the Conference Center in the Smith Building. The User Meeting will be held in the Smith Building Boardroom and meeting rooms. The Smith Building is located at 6600 Frantz Road, Dublin, OH 43017.
