Updating Your Library's Resource Sharing Information
Annual Action Requested
Annually, Library Administrators must update the Resource Sharing Information for ALL Locations (Buildings) within their Agency. This includes the sharing of policies on Interlibrary Loan and Reciprocal Borrowing, along with updating contact and OCLC information if applicable. Resource Sharing information can be edited by logged-in users assigned the Admin role for their library's Agency. Library Directors are automatically assigned the Admin role. Other users may be assigned the Admin role for their affiliation with the permission of the Director. Contact help@librarylearning.org for more information.
