Summary:

Library users expect quick, easy access to the resources they need, no matter where those materials come from. For library staff, meeting those expectations often means juggling tight budgets, rising demand, complex resource-sharing workflows and increasing staff workloads.

In this webinar, librarians from the University of Arizona, Virginia Commonwealth University and the University of Central Florida share how they rethought resource sharing with Rapido. They discuss how simplifying workflows helped their teams process more requests while delivering faster access for users. Join this peer-led session to hear what changed behind the scenes and what made the biggest difference for staff day to day.
