Resource Sharing

Libraries are all about sharing: they provide a collection of resources that everyone can use. When your library belongs to a sharing network, the range of materials available to your users grows exponentially. The internet has raised the expectations of users about the speed with which they can find, locate and receive the items they want. Each resource that is quickly borrowed or lent represents another satisfied customer.

OCLC PICA’s resource sharing solutions will help you provide your users with affordable electronic access to a wide range of information discovery and evaluation tools, regardless of their location. These may be combined with appropriate options for obtaining the resources found, such as online display of full text and digital objects, location and availability in your own collections, interlibrary loan, document supply or purchase requests.
