How can your library improve resource sharing?

Summary:

Resource sharing is more important than ever. Stagnant library budgets, combined with the impact of the global pandemic, have increased the importance of borrowing and lending across libraries.

Thankfully, new workflow solutions can make lending content through resource sharing much easier and faster. Attend this webinar for tips to improve resource sharing at your library – and learn how we’re experimenting with lending entire ebooks across libraries through a new pilot. 

Speakers include Ann Roll, Associate Dean of Collections & Scholarly Communications, and Chris Lee, Resource Sharing Manager, both from California State University; and two product experts from ProQuest Ex Libris, Part of Clarivate.
