Resource Sharing

Libraries are all about providing access to information. And sometimes the easiest and most cost effective way to provide that access is through another library. Libraries have a rich history of working together, cooperating and sharing. And resource sharing, or interlibrary loan, is one of the best examples of this. Libraries strive to assist users in getting what they want, when they want it, and how they want it. And libraries working together through resource sharing is how many libraries are accomplishing this task in the global discovery landscape.
